"Leaders have high expectations of all their pupils. Staff model these expectations consistently. As a result, pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. Pupils know how to behave well. They want to learn and do not waste opportunities to do so. Staff teach pupils to respect each other. Pupils play happily together." (Ofsted, June 2023)

"Pupils...respond well to the school’s Christian ethos and show respect for others. They know and live by the school’s values and rules". (Ofsted, June 2023)

History of the Church:
There was a church at Wolvey in Saxon days when the site on which the present Church of St. John the Baptist stands, was adjacent to the habitation of Ulve or Wulf, from which the parish derives its name. The site is an ideal Saxon knoll or mound, rising above the River Anker. The church is typical of the larger English parish churches, having chancel, nave, north and south aisles, west tower, south porch and north doorway. The earliest parts of the present church are: the south doorway of the twelfth century and probably the lower stages of the tower. There have been various substantial restorations through the centuries: in 1900 the Church having been closed for twelve months for very much needed restorations. In 1909 the old porch was replaced by a stone one, some of the early seventeenth timbers being reused in its roof. The flooring of the Church is of Horton stone paving (1929) and the pews are late Victorian.

Classroom Reflection and Prayer Areas

At Wolvey CofE Primary School, our classrooms are not just places of learning—they are nurturing spaces where children are supported to grow spiritually, emotionally and socially. Reflecting our vision of embracing equality and experiencing excellence, every classroom includes a Prayer Corner or Reflection Area that helps children pause, reflect, and connect with their own thoughts and faith.

These areas are regularly updated to reflect the theme of our Collective Worship and focus on one of our Christian Values, offering a deeper exploration of key messages. They typically include a Bible verse, a reflective or "big" question, artefacts, and images designed to engage children in meaningful reflection or prayer.

Children and staff are warmly encouraged to leave notes in response to the reflective questions or place personal prayers into the prayer box. These sacred spaces help to reinforce the inclusive, thoughtful and caring culture that lies at the heart of our school community.

I-Sing POP Concert - July 2024

To celebrate the end of another successful school we invited in I-Sing POP to work with us to do a LIVE concert for our community. I-Sing POP are a Christian Charity who support schools with lively and entertaining songs which feature lessons and prayers from the bible.

We had two concerts with over 200 parents/carers attending. A wonderful end to a fantastic year!

Harvest

This year we were able to visit Wolvey Church. Reverend Vaughan lead the way and our school Prayer Warriors supported with prayers, poems and Bible readings. As always our parents were generous with their donations that were collected donated to the local foodbanks.

Gardening in Our Peace Garden

At Wolvey CofE Primary School, our Peace Garden is a cherished space where children and adults come together each year to clear, plant, and nurture a calm, reflective area at the heart of our school. With seeds generously donated by members of our community, this shared project is a wonderful example of embracing equality and experiencing excellence through teamwork, care, and creativity.

More than just a gardening activity, this work helps develop practical skills, encourages environmental responsibility, and supports positive mental well-being. It offers our children a peaceful, purposeful space to connect with nature and with one another—an embodiment of our Christian values in action.

As spring turns to summer, the Peace Garden comes to life with vibrant plants and flowers, providing a haven for insects and local wildlife. This year, our pupils also collaborated to design and paint a beautiful mural for the school community—a lasting expression of pride, unity and shared achievement.
