School Overview
Whaddon Church of England School is a small Buckinghamshire Voluntary Aided Church of England primary school for children aged 4-11 years.
We are a happy and successful primary school, close to the border of Milton Keynes and we make good use of the facilities and experiences available to us to deepen our learning and understanding. Families living in Milton Keynes are welcome to apply for places in our school. Our admissions policy can be found on our website, for more details about admissions criteria.
Our setting provides children with the opportunities to enquire, enact and explore- both inside and outside of the classroom. Our children benefit from smaller than average class sizes, a stimulating and caring learning environment which is enhanced by our extensive outdoor learning space all fostering a love of learning.
Our creative, dedicated and experienced team are committed to supporting every child in optimising their potential and celebrating their unique talents . Our high standards and expectations are reflected in our well rounded, happy children and the high levels of engagement and achievement; across the curriculum.
We Aim...
- To be a Christian community where everyone can grow in Christian faith and develop an understanding of the diversity of the world around them.
- To promote the development of each person and to provide the best education for every pupil, within a supportive and engaging environment, to shine!
- To nurture each child’s identity, as a citizen of the world.
- To equip children with the skills to develop independent thinking and learning- for life!
- To establish an environment where children have the confidence to take managed risks and make mistakes evaluating what they would do differently, next time.
- To develop a strong sense of personal responsibility and life skills.
- To enable our children to demonstrate respect for themselves, one another and the environment; valuing difference.
- To provide children with a broad and rich inclusive educational experience which incorporates the Early Years framework and National Curriculum, at the appropriate level for each child. We offer a curriculum which incorporates and fully embraces transference of skills to outdoor learning.
British Values
Through our three core school values, we promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and no faith. These values are woven throughout our curriculum and day-to-day interactions, but are more explicitly explored through the PSHE and RE programmes of study, along with activities including: Collective Worship, the weekly Whole School Meeting, Multicultural Weeks, fundraising events for charities inside and outside of the UK and the variety of educational visits to places of worship of major world faiths.
