Worple Primary School is a happy, welcoming, diverse school where we pride ourselves on having a family feel, with real family values. We create an atmosphere where all of the children are known and supported by our dedicated staff and we provide an educational experience that is challenging and fun. This supportive and nurturing environment enables children to fulfill their potential and become confident, independent lifelong learners across all areas of the curriculum. The children at Worple learn the value of commitment to successful learning and in addition, they develop discipline and a sense of responsibility. Throughout the school, it is evident that we have pupils who are well-adjusted, global young citizens. We believe strongly in forming partnerships with parents and you are actively encouraged to be involved in your child's education so that together we can enable your child to reach their maximum potential. Worple Primary School welcomes the equality duties on schools and regards these as essential for achieving the five outcomes of the Every Child Matters framework. We believe that all pupils and members of staff should have the opportunity to fulfill their potential whatever their background, identity and circumstance. We are committed to creating a community that recognizes and celebrates differences within a culture of respect and cooperation. We recognize that improving outcomes such as attendance or attainment for a specific group of pupils will help to improve our outcomes for all. Our commitment to equality is thus a fundamental part of our drive towards excellence and one of the core principles that ‘no child is left behind. At Worple, we believe that everyone should have a say in what we learn, and that is why our new curriculum has been developed together with input from staff, children, parents, and governors. It is a unique curriculum, just for Worple learners, and is centered on getting the best outcomes for our children in a fun, dynamic, and challenging way, giving them as many new experiences as possible. We value the importance of children being enthused enough so that they want to be good learners. Therefore, at Worple we put great emphasis on child-initiated learning, with children often shaping and guiding the learning journey. This will often be done at our 'Super Starts', where teachers will introduce a new theme with an engaging hook. Children will have lots of questions and thoughts, and it is these questions and thoughts that often become lessons or discussion points, subsequently. At Worple, we want to give every child the best possible opportunity to be the best learner that they can be, and this is why so many subjects have been linked together within each theme. Our lessons will make strong links to our core values (challenge, curiosity, integrity, resilience, and motivation) and this will help to develop children's positive learning behaviors. We certainly want to foster all of these values at Worple, as they will be essential for children whilst working their way through our challenging curriculum and for preparing them for life beyond school. We would love parents to help us support children with the new curriculum. This can be done in a variety of ways including supporting your child with theme-based homework, getting involved in the family-based projects that will be set during the year, volunteering to come and talk to the children if you have expertise in a field that the children are studying and volunteering to help with school trips and enrichment activities. All support is very valuable to the school and greatly appreciated by staff and children. View full school
