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).
