As a school we aim to give children opportunities and experiences which build on skills and ultimately build social and confident children who are ‘Secondary Ready’ in readiness for adulthood.
Basic skills are at the heart , as well as ensuring children are emotionally resilient, can cope with challenge and add value to the community.
At Wheeler Primary School our values permeate all areas of school life and are reflected by the schools simple motto ‘BRILL’ this stands for – Being Respectful, Responsible and Resilient in Learning and Life.
We deliver a broad and balanced curriculum which inspires children and allows them to become immersed in a topic while ensure that there is a clear progression of knowledge and skills across the school.
We strive to make our children passionate for learning and make their learning as enjoyable, meaningful and relevant as possible. We offer children an excellent education in a safe, calm, creative, inclusive and stimulating environment. Every child is valued as an individual; we aim to nurture well rounded, respectful and confident children who will develop skills for life-long learning.
We nurture our children on their journey and encourage them to be creative, unique, open-minded and independent individuals, respectful of themselves and of others in our school, our local community and the wider world.
We take our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern Britain and ensure that the fundamental British Values are introduced, discussed and lived out through the ethos and work of our school.
