About Walwayne Court School
At Walwayne Court School our educational experiences inspire enjoyment and engagement to
promote well-being for everyone, enabling them to fulfil their potential so that children have a
sense of their role and place in the community.
The members of our school make this a special place in which children can grow into young citizens who are happy, kind to each other, confident and academically ready to take on the world and embrace the challenges that lie ahead.
Respect is at the heart of everything that we do at Walwayne Court School. The values ‘Ready,
Respectful, Safe’ apply to all members of our community: children, staff, governors, parents,
grandparents and volunteers alike, ensuring that this school is a happy place to come to. It is
through this ethos that we all work together to provide a stimulating and purposeful learning
environment. We pursue excellence through well-resourced classrooms and an enthusiastic,
committed staff. Above all, we believe that in order to achieve the best for our children, it is
essential that we work closely in partnership with parents, carers and pupils to support them
throughout their time at Walwayne Court School.
We provide primary education for 4 to 11-year-olds in three stages: Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3 – 6). There are ten classes across the school, a number of which have mixed year groups. In the Early Years Foundation Stage and Year 1 our teaching model is based around continuous provision, progressing on to more formal methods of teaching in the later years. The school has a very strong team of teaching staff, ably supported by dedicated support staff including teaching assistants, midday supervisory assistants, administrative and premises staff. There is a highly committed governing body and a dedicated parent teacher association (Friends of Walwayne Court School – FOWCS).
