On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I am delighted to welcome you to the Wavendon Gate Primary School website.

I am very proud to be the Headteacher of this amazing school. Our children, families, staff and governors work in close partnership to create enriching learning opportunities which ensure each and every pupil leave us at the end of Year 6 ready to relish the challenges that lay ahead of them.

The children have created an ethos that is based on values such as good manners, respect, kindness and honesty. We have very high expectations of behaviour at Wavendon Gate School. Visitors often comment on the calm atmosphere and beautifully behaved children. 

Our curriculum aims to encourage children to develop the skills they need for later life and become well rounded children in all areas of the curriculum. Although we make sure we track pupils progress very carefully and make sure everyone knows what are the next steps for learning, as a school, we also want children to be happy and enjoy learning. Furthermore, we work hard to make sure our curriculum also covers much wider areas of learning and we offer numerous enrichment activities such as clubs and visits. Right from foundation, we encourage independence and children are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and to develop skills which will make them better learners.

At Wavendon Gate School, every single child matters and we value children for all their different strengths, qualities and beliefs. We are an inclusive school. We treat every child as an individual and make sure we cater for their needs in order for them to flourish and succeed. We have a culture of safeguarding that runs through everything we do in order to make sure our children are safe. 

We are all very proud to be part of the Wavendon Gate School family and always welcome visitors to our school so you can see our learning in action.
