iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Wootey Junior School. Everyone at Wootey Junior School is very proud of our school. Our key aim is for all our children to develop a positive and dedicated attitude to their learning where they strive to improve on their personal best. We are always ambitious for the children and this is conveyed in our school slogan, 'Always seek the challenge' .
We are committed to developing a school community that is driven to continuously develop and improve. The school's ambition statement defines the school's aims under three key words. These are: Nurture, Challenge and Innovate. Our caring and skilled staff offer an inclusive education for all the children. We aim to nurture them to be independent, responsible and resilient.
We also want our children to extend friendship, respect and kindness to all who they meet. The school's strong behaviour policy and simple golden rules of 'Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Respectful' help us to achieve this. The school also actively seeks to nurture children's healthy lifestyles, interest in sport and awareness of safety in our modern world.
