Everyone cares for each other and that every teacher adds a little bit of fun into every lesson

Throughout my time at Wheeler, I have been given so many opportunities to experience and learn new things

Leaders have designed and implemented an ambitious and well-planned curriculum.

The school has made recent changes to the teaching
of phonics to help pupils get off to the best start with their reading.

Classrooms are calm and purposeful places for pupils to learn.

The leader’s vision for the school is demonstrated in the way pupils behave

Parents say that the school is ‘fantastic’ and that staff ‘greet the children come hail, rain or shine’ every morning as they arrive.

Pupils are proud to be part of the Wheeler family.

Leaders give pupils the opportunity to complete well-planned and exciting
activities, such as performing in front of an audience, in order to create a ‘bag’ full of life experiences as they progress through the school. .

Leaders are passionate about preparing pupils to be good citizens for the world beyond Wheeler Primary School

Pupils in key stage 2 talk confidently about a wide range of authors and texts they have read.

It is a safe and happy place to learn.

Being at Wheeler is like being part of a family and that makes learning fun

The best thing is having someone to go to when you’re upset

Leaders and teachers have high expectations for every child.

There are
opportunities for pupils to attend different clubs and raise funds for charities

The teachers are so supportive they help and guide you all the way through the year

I think the best thing about being a Wheeler pupil is that all of the staff listen and care about you

The support that leaders provide for families is a strength of the school.

Pupils take books home which contain the sounds that they are learning in class. This gives them plenty of practice.

The staff are really encouraging. They always help us to be the best we can be

They want pupils to ‘Be Respectful, Responsible and Resilient in Learning and Life’

Pupils report that bullying is rare, but if it happens, staff will sort it out quickly and fairly.

Pupils are encouraged to develop a positive attitude towards themselves and others.

Pupils enjoy coming to Wheeler Primary School every day.

Pupils are excited about adding experiences to their ‘Bag for Life’.
