Being at Wheeler is like being part of a family and that makes learning fun
Throughout my time at Wheeler, I have been given so many opportunities to experience and learn new things
Everyone cares for each other and that every teacher adds a little bit of fun into every lesson
The staff are really encouraging. They always help us to be the best we can be
The best thing is having someone to go to when you’re upset
I think the best thing about being a Wheeler pupil is that all of the staff listen and care about you
The teachers are so supportive they help and guide you all the way through the year
