About Woolmore Primary School

Welcome to Woolmore

Woolmore has been on an exciting journey in recent years, transitioning from a one-form entry Victorian School to a three-form entry school in a modern building. 

Everyone at Woolmore works incredibly hard because that's what it takes to ensure that all children achieve success.  We ask 'What would it take?' for each child and then we do everything we can to make it happen. We also have lots of fun.

You can see a summary of what we do and how we do it by looking at our website and Twitter feed.  We are proud of what we do whilst always looking for ideas to develop further.

If you like what you read and see and think Woolmore might be the next step for your teaching career, please get in touch to speak on the phone or come and visit.  If you end up at Woolmore you will definitely know that you will be making a big difference to children's lives (and your own).
