As Executive Headteacher, I would like to wish you a warm welcome to The Woolenwick Schools. I am proud to share with you our core values: At the Infant and Nursery school we follow our motto of Leanring, Growing and Achieving together. At the Junior school they are to be Respectful, Resilient and Successful. These values underpin everything we do here at Woolenwick Juniors.
Our schools are friendly, happy places where everyone is valued and recognised as an individual. We believe that every child has the ability to shine given the right care and support and that our similarities and differences are things we celebrate with pride.
We have an extremely dedicated and enthusiastic team of staff who endeavour to provide a learning journey full of excitement which builds on the children's cultural capital. Everyone strives to make sure all children have opportunities both academically and socially.
