We believe that learning best takes place in an environment which supports close, secure relationships, engaging and challenging the hearts and minds of all children and promoting in them a sense of pride and joy in achievement.

The Weatheralls is a happy school intent on providing high quality education.  Following inspection by Ofsted in May 2007 the report said; 'This is an outstanding school...It is highly valued by pupils and parents...The staff value and encourage every pupil to achieve as well as he or she can...Achievement is outstanding throughout the school.

We are very proud of our school and will continue to work hard to further improve the quality of education on offer to the children.

• Excellent attitudes, exemplary behaviour and high levels of attendance

High quality learning and teaching is the purpose of our school. It is the vehicle through which we offer an inclusive curriculum which is broad and balanced and meets the requirements of the Foundation Curriculum, National Curriculum, Religious Education and Collective Worship.

Our aims are that all children will;

• learn to celebrate diversity by working cooperatively and showing a respectful understanding of the rights, views and property of others,
• develop a responsible and independent attitude towards learning and their role as citizens – locally, nationally and globally,
• achieve their potential in terms of academic achievement, aesthetic appreciation and spiritual awareness,
• experience excitement and enjoyment – being inspired to develop their curiosity and a positive attitude to life.

Learning and teaching is more than just a school based activity - we embrace the support and involvement of parents and the wider community.

All members of the school community work towards the school’s aims and values by attending to the five outcomes of ‘Every Child Matters’ – that is to enable children to:

• Be Healthy
• Stay Safe
• Enjoy and Achieve
• Make a Positive Contribution
• Achieve Economic Well-being

There are many opportunites for the pupils of the Weatheralls to join extra-curricular clubs. Most of these clubs are run by staff after school or during the lunch hour. If children wish to join a club they need to contact the member of staff running the club.

The variety of clubs available does change regularly so keep checking this page to see what's on offer.
