Wolverham Primary and Nursery School is a one form entry primary school located in the heart of a busy community in Ellesmere Port. We also operate a 2 and 3 year old provision which offers paid and funded places (15 and 30 hours) and many of our pupils start with us at the age of 2 and remain with us until they are ready for high school.

We want all our pupils to be inspired and love learning, be confident in who they are and leave us with the skills and knowledge required to take on the next step of their school journey. Through our half-termly key words - identity, courage, power, change, choices and unity - we have built a curriculum which will continue to evolve and develop over the next few years. Our pupils’ personal development is at the heart of all we do with a range of exciting trips, residential visits, visitors and learning experiences built into each topic.

Our school operates as a community where everyone’s voice is important and is heard. We are proud of our diverse school and we strive to be inclusive, with a significantly higher number of pupils with identified SEND and additional needs.
