Warren Mead Infant and Junior School have historically been separate schools however in more recent years, we have embarked on an exciting new journey for the school where the leadership team lead the two schools as one, serving the same community. Although working out of two buildings, the schools now have a united vision, a joint set of values and a cohesive, progressive curriculum which starts in Nursery and progresses through to Year 6.
At Warren Mead, children experience an enriched learning journey that encourages them to grow as individuals through developing a love and thirst for learning. By creating a safe and inclusive learning environment, we enable all children to strive towards achieving their own aspirations, whilst encouraging learners to grow as resilient, considerate individuals that are proud of themselves everyday.
