Welcome to Wistow. As Headteacher, I am extremely proud of our school and our wonderful children who make this such a great place to work and learn. We are committed to providing the very best possible care and education for all our children and our staff and governors are dedicated to ensuring each child experiences high quality teaching and learning, which nurtures and supports their individual interests and talents.
We strive to provide our children with a vibrant, engaging curriculum which motivates and inspires them to become enthusiastic, lifelong learners. We aim to provide the children with a rich, broad curriculum which embraces opportunities for creativity, the arts and sport. We also enjoy excellent links with our local community and we participate in events and projects within the local area.
At Wistow, everyone matters. The school’s values of honesty, resilience, forgiveness and respect are closely linked to Christian teaching and are at the heart of the life of the school. As a faith school, we are incredibly proud that we were judged as ‘Outstanding’ in our 2017 Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS).
We believe strongly that education is a partnership between children, staff, governors and parents. If we work together, the most important aspect of the partnership will benefit – the pupils. Learning is a journey and it is one that we hope we can take together and make every child and ourselves ‘the best that we can be’.
As a school we are committed to continual improvement and are dedicated to ensuring your child’s time with us will be happy, enjoyable and inspiring. If you wish to know more, telephone/email for further details or come and visit the school, where we will be more than happy to show you around.
