Welcome to John Wilkinson Primary School and Nursery. Thank you for taking the time to explore what our school has to offer your children. Our vision for the children and families at our school is to create a culture of curiosity where children who feel healthy, happy and safe, thrive.
The learning opportunities that we carefully design, sequence and deliver ensure that your children are equipped to move onto the next phase in their education as well as cultivating a lifelong love of learning.
Memorable experiences, high quality teaching and an exemplary curriculum engage and inspire our children to develop the characteristics of effective learners, understand the world around them (their school community as well as the local and global communities to which they belong) and grow into well-rounded citizens who demonstrate strong core values in their behaviour and conduct.
We want all children to leave our school fully equipped to navigate the next stage of their school career and manage all that life may bring; academically, socially, emotionally and morally.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
