School Overview

 

Whaddon C of E School is a small Voluntary Aided Church of England primary school for children aged 4-11 years.

 

We are a small village school set in the idyllic village of Whaddon,  rural Buckinghamshire; close to the border of Milton Keynes. Our setting offers children the opportunities to enquire, enact and explore both inside and outside of the classroom.  Our children benefit from smaller than average class sizes a caring, holistic environment benefitting from strong community links.

 

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.

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.
