We think that this perfectly sums up the St Nicholas C of E Primary School family who recently had a very positive SIAMS Inspection.  To read the rest of the report please click here. 

"A warm welcome permeates this school and kindness pervades. Adults are inspired by the vision to show God’s love in action. Individuals greet one another with a smile. Proactive restorative conversations happen promptly when things go wrong. The Christian vision creates a sense of unity and community. Consequently, pupils and adults feel that they are treated well. The inclusive culture is the beating heart of St Nicholas. Skilled staff deliver specialist programmes. This ensures that wellbeing is promoted, especially for the vulnerable and disadvantaged. The school’s compassionate approach is central to daily life."

"The wellbeing of pupils and staff is prioritised enabling them to feel known and cared for as the unique person they are. The school supports its pupils and helps them to grow through the fostering of a nurturing and inclusive environment" "The Christian vision creates an active culture of justice and responsibility. Pupils are taught to respect others and accept difference. As a result, they understand the importance of all people being treated equally." Just two lovely quotes from a wonderful SIAMS inspection.  Well done to all at Wootton Wawen.  To read the full report click here.

Three of our MAT Schools, Coughton C of E Primary School Henley in Arden C of E Primary School and Temple Grafton C of E Primary School have all had solar panels fitted to their roofs.  This is all a part of our Sustainability Policy and our move towards Net Zero. They also have an educational value as all schools have a display screen showing the amount of energy being generated.
