Worcester is a community mixed Primary and Nursery School taking children from 3-11 years. Worcester is a happy, vibrant, inclusive school set on extensive grounds where children can develop into independent learners. At Worcesters, we work to ensure that your child feels secure in the caring environment which we endeavor to create at all times. We value parent’s contributions and hope that the partnership between home and school will provide a strong foundation for all pupils to grow and develop to their full potential.
At present we can take on 600 children on roll with an additional 60 children in the nursery. The children are grouped according to age. When the children start in Reception, those children transferring from the nursery classes are split as a group between the three reception classes, and new children are welcomed to the new groups.
Classes are mixed at the end of reception before pupils move up into year 1. In this way, we can ensure that classes are balanced about gender and ability. Parents are part of the consultation process and children’s friendships are taken into account when the new classes are organized.
We aim to form a partnership with families and the community to prepare our diverse school population to become lifelong learners in a high achieving, inclusive, creative, nurturing, and safe environment.
At the heart of our school, we value the strengths of all members of our school community. We believe in providing all children with the skills for lifelong learning through engaging children in a rich, challenging curriculum within a shared culture of safety and respect. At Worcesters we believe that all learners are unique individuals who are entitled to realize their full potential.
We believe that excellent learning occurs when children feel safe and are having fun. In our school, we respect all cultures and originality.
At Worcesters, we are very fortunate to have a large amount of outdoor space. Our curriculum reflects this and plans for opportunities for outdoor learning. We also take advantage of our local community through visits to Forty Hall and other areas of interest.
Worcesters’ pupils come from diverse backgrounds. We celebrate this and build it into our curriculum. We believe good learning takes place when there are clear outcomes that are built on over the key stages and children are engaged in their learning. Each topic has a hook into it – this may be an educational visit, an experience, or a visitor. We promote positive attitudes to learning by ensuring our curriculum is relevant, engaging, and stimulating.
