Vision and Purpose

At Wolsey House Primary School, our curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, nurture a love of learning, and equip children with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in life. Our curriculum is inclusive, ambitious and carefully structured to ensure that all children make sustained progress through a rich and engaging learning journey whilst upholding the values of, ‘Together we grow, achieve and thrive.’

Our school is rooted in the strong foundations of our six core values: Aspiration, Co-operation, Honesty, Resilience, Respect and Responsibility. These are embedded into everyday life at Wolsey House; reflecting the adults of tomorrow we are enthused to develop.

We inspire our children to aspire—to believe in themselves, aim high and be proud of their achievements. To believe it could be them.  Through co-operation, we foster teamwork, friendship and a sense of belonging. To believe they are worthy. We value honesty, building trust and integrity in everything we do. To believe they have a voice.

We help our pupils develop resilience, encouraging them to persevere and grow from challenges. To believe they can. We promote respect for ourselves, each other and the world around us, celebrating the diversity and individuality of every member of our school community. To believe they belong. We teach responsibility, empowering children to take ownership of their actions, learning and role in shaping a positive future. To believe it is theirs.

Through our spiral curriculum, trips, visits and a wide range of experiences, we embed these values across all areas of school life, making learning meaningful, exciting and long-lasting.

Together, by living our values every day, in lessons, in the corridors and in the outside world, we empower children to become confident, compassionate and capable individuals, ready to embrace life and make a difference in the world they live in.

We are committed to providing a curriculum that builds on substantive knowledge (the established facts, concepts, and information of each subject) and disciplinary knowledge (the ways in which children think, question and apply their understanding of a subject).

Through our spiral curriculum, children become independent learners, articulate thinkers and responsible citizens with the confidence to make a difference to the world they live in.
