PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME

Waterfield Primary School is a caring two-form entry primary school. We pride ourselves on providing your children with a unique, ambitious primary curriculum that will enable all children to acquire the skills they require to succeed in the next steps of their education and beyond. Working collaboratively with The Collegiate Trust we aim to deliver ‘Exceptional Education for All’, through every member of our school community ‘Aiming High and Achieving their Best’.

We pride ourselves in welcoming children to begin their seven-year learning journey in Nursery (in which we offer both 15 and 30-hour places) and Reception, forming close bonds with both the children and parents/carers. Children continue through our Lower and Upper School experiencing memorable learning experiences that build from learning about our locality and community to broadening their understanding of the global, inclusive and advancing world in which we all live in today.

Underpinning the learning journey at Waterfield are our three Community School Values of: Kindness, Respect and demonstrating a Hard Working attitude, which are reflected by us all: adults and children alike. We celebrate our diverse community through mutual respect and appreciating everyone’s individuality. Whilst we pride ourselves on ensuring ALL children receive superb teaching in reading, writing and maths Waterfield places emphasis on the Arts, broadening cultural capital, integrating technology and giving children memories that they will look back on fondly in later years.

From our idyllic location by the Millpond, we have worked hard to ensure that learners have the advantage of accessing the highest quality resources and teaching spaces: including our Outdoor Early Years Learning Space, dedicated Arts Studio, Technology Suite, Access for ALL to specialist Music teaching (violin, clarinet, keyboards etc), Robotic Computer Science, Forest Glade and our newest provision the NEST (a dedicated space both physical and digital for Nurture, Extended and Specialist Teaching).

By joining Waterfield you are joining a partnership in learning, where we consider everyone to be part of the children’s development and journey; encouraging School and Home to work in partnership as Co-Educators for our children’s success, happiness and future.

Please explore our website, take time to learn about our unique Vehicles for Learning and please do contact our Office staff to discuss your child joining us at Waterfield.

Welcome to Waterfield.
