Welcome to Wheelock Primary School
Our mission statement
Children leave Wheelock as creative individuals who welcome challenge and are ready to take their place as members of the global community.
Our Aims and Values
We have four animals that represent our aims and the values that underpin them.
You can see these animals all around school, they remind us of or aims and values throughout the day. We even have a life-sized elephant in our school hall!
We have also recently redesigned our curriculum to make it bespoke to Wheelock and to ensure that it supports both the academic and the personal, social and emotional development of the children. It is based on our aims. Each aim forms a strand of the curriculum and is divided into five areas of learning:
|
Community |
Creativity |
Challenge |
Individuality |
