Headteacher’s Welcome
It is with real pleasure that I welcome you to the Wilnecote School. This is a school with a proud and rich history of serving the local community, and a real focus on an exciting future. I am committed to leading a school where no student is left behind, all are valued as individuals, but where we all commit to the highest standards of behaviour, punctuality, attendance and academic effort.
At the Wilnecote School you will find a committed and professional staff body who are dedicated to improving the life chances of every student. Whatever our role within the school, we all share the same ambition, high expectations and drive which we seek to embed in all of our students.
We are very proud of our broad and balanced curriculum which is well planned and sequenced and is supplemented by an extensive array of enrichment opportunities. Pupils benefit from exciting educational trips and an entitlement to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Our intent is to allow every student the opportunity to explore their talents, develop new ones and find their passion upon which to drive their learning.
Our teaching staff are passionate subject experts who pride themselves on delivering lessons of the highest quality, using their extensive subject knowledge, collaborative planning and utilising evidence informed teaching strategies. Staff development is at the centre of our drive to further improve student outcomes.
Our students are supported by a very talented pastoral team who are devoted to ensuring every young person is nurtured and has a trusted adult to talk to. Our recent move to a year group approach has accentuated the relationship between students and their Pastoral year team and form tutor. I am proud that our staff and students refer to the care, compassion and support at Wilnecote as that of being part of a family.
Our aim at Wilnecote is to instil in our students the confidence to dream big and smash through their own perceptions of their potential. Furthermore, to provide for them the highest quality of education that will establish the strongest foundations for a bright future. The development of a strong sense of self discipline and respect for others is essential to this journey.
I see it as an integral part of my role as Headteacher to ensure all our students make the most of their abilities and leave the Wilnecote School with the qualifications to access their ambitions and strength of character to fulfil them.
I invite you to visit us, talk to students and staff and see how we put these aims into practise.
Mr David Foskett
