"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)

School's Theologically-Rooted Christian Vision

Embracing equality and experiencing excellence

Wolvey CofE Primary School is a diverse, caring Christian community within which the individuality and culture of each child is valued and celebrated. ‘…Among us you are all equal…’ (Galatians 3:28, MSG). Our learning journey is an inclusive experience and the relationships between children, staff and the wider community are integral to enabling children to thrive and enjoy their school experience.

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.

As a community we believe in values that embrace all our community. As our school has progressed so much since our federation, we feel it is the right time to look at what our school means to us in our community.

Throughout the academic year, we will work with all stakeholders to design and write our new school values. 

We will look to have this embedded across the school in September 2023.

If you would like to be more involved with this, please do speak to Mr Parker. 

Classrooms

Each classroom has a Prayer corner or reflection area, which are changed and added to regularly following Worship. They are a place where the children can come and ponder, reflect and pray. The areas have one of our Christian Values as its focal point and will include Bible verses, big or reflective questions, other artefacts and pictures to engage the children in thought and prayer. They usually follow the same theme as Collective Worship to enable the children to deepen their understanding and thoughts behind each Christian message. The children and staff are welcome to leave notes that reflect answers to the questions on the display or leave prayers in the prayer box.

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

Every year, children and adults help to clear and replant our calm area with seeds that were kindly donated to the school. As a community, it is important for us to have an area that helps us develop a range of skills but also helps boost our wellbeing. Our garden area certainly does that! As the spring turns into summer, we always look forward to having beautiful plants to look at as well as supporting our country’s insects and wildlife. This year a number of our children have helped to create the mural for the school community.
