A very warm welcome awaits you and your child at Wildground Federation.
The federation comprises of a teacher led nursery (within the infant school), Wildground Infant School and Wildground Junior School and three resourced provisions, one for early years speech and language, one for children with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH) and one for autistic spectrum disorder (ASC).
We are an inclusive, caring and vibrant federation putting the individual child at the heart of our school ensuring they become successful learners and achieve the highest standards possible. We pride ourselves on our child centred approach getting to know each child individually, working alongside them to help them succeed.
Teachers provide stimulating experiences that capture children's imagination, curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. As such we prioritise first hand experiences and have a wide range of visitors into school and external visits to explore new places. There are themed days to enrich the curriculum as well as a whole variety of after school and lunch activities.
