It is a pleasure to welcome you to our school website. We hope it provides a helpful insight into life at Wallands and answers any questions you may have.

At Wallands Community Primary and Nursery School, our children are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to offer a high-quality education within a warm, inclusive and nurturing community where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to thrive. We believe that children learn best when they feel happy, safe and confident, and we work hard to ensure that every child develops a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their lives.

We have around 320 children on roll across our Nursery and twelve classes, including our specialist facility for children with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and Autism Spectrum Condition. We are committed to ensuring that every child receives the support, challenge and opportunities they need to achieve their full potential.

Our dedicated and talented staff work together to provide engaging and ambitious learning experiences that inspire children to become independent, active and reflective learners. We have high expectations for all pupils and are determined that every child succeeds academically, socially and emotionally.

Our school vision unites children, staff, families and governors in a shared commitment to enabling every child to flourish. We are proud of our inclusive approach and our culture of belonging, where everyone is encouraged to be Ready, Respectful and Safe. 

We are equally proud of the support we provide for children with additional needs, ensuring that every pupil can learn successfully alongside their peers and participate fully in school life. Through strong relationships, high-quality teaching and a commitment to inclusion, we strive to ensure that all children feel valued and achieve their very best.

At Wallands, we believe that education is about more than academic achievement. We want our pupils to develop confidence, resilience, kindness and a strong sense of responsibility so that they leave us well prepared for the next stage of their education and for life beyond school.

We greatly value the partnership between home and school and believe that working closely with families is key to ensuring the best outcomes for our children. We operate an open and welcoming approach and are always happy to answer questions, discuss concerns or celebrate successes together.

While our website offers a glimpse into life at Wallands, the best way to experience our school is to visit us in person. If you would like to find out more, please contact the school office on 01273 472776 to arrange a visit. We would be delighted to welcome you and show you our school community in action.

I look forward to welcoming you to the Wallands community.
