As the Executive Headteacher and on behalf of the children, staff and governors I am very pleased to welcome you to Wymondham CE Primary school. I am very proud to be Headteacher of our wonderful school, leading a team of committed staff and working closely with families and the community to help our children to reach their full potential through enjoyment and excellence.

We are a small village school surrounded by beautiful rural countryside serving the villages of Wymondham, Edmondthorpe, Saxby and Stapleford.

We were delighted to become an Academy within Rise Multi-Academy Trust in 2014. We enjoy very close links with our partner school: Croxton Kerrial CE Primary School. We also work closely with our cluster of local Rise Multi Academy Trust schools including Waltham-on-the-Wolds CE Primary School, Redmile CE Primary School and St Mary's in Melton, as well as with other Rise schools.

Our school is at the heart of the community and we really value the partnership with children, parents and members of the community including the church, pre-school and parish council.

At Wymondham we aim to provide a happy, caring, vibrant school that will promote high standards of personal achievement and the opportunity for full social, emotional and spiritual development of all the children in our care.

We have two classes, of mixed ability and gender, all vertically grouped: Reception, Year 1 and 2, Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 who are taught in split classes of year 3/4 and 5/6. We have developed a rich curriculum, building on sequential knowledge and developing skills in all aspects of learning including the creative arts, with English and maths central to our work.

We are exceptionally proud of the caring, Christian ethos we share at Wymondham; our aim is that learning is inspiring, relevant, challenging and most importantly that the children have fun and are happy.

Executive Headteacher

Wymondham, St Peter’s CE Primary School is situated in the glorious village of Wymondham, in the heart of rural Leicestershire. The school is surrounded by fields and stunning views of the English countryside and is only a short drive away from the A1 and the market towns of Melton Mowbray and Oakham; national rail links are easily accessible-ideal for city commuters.

The school enjoys close links with St Peter’s Church and the local community, including the pre-school adjacent to the school, as well as our partnership primary schools; it is part of the Vale School Cluster which is overseen by an experienced Executive Head Teacher. Wymondham is a friendly, welcoming school that can cater for up to 105 pupils aged 4 to 11. The school has continued to improve over the last 3 years, which has been reflected in the Good grade awarded to the school by Ofsted in 2019. Pupils at Wymondham continuously meet the expected standards set for them. The vast majority of pupils meet the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, and our end of year data is often significantly above both local authority and national averages.

The school provides each pupil with a diverse education within a safe, supportive environment that promotes self-discipline, motivation and excellence in learning.

Christian and British values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment, which prepares our pupils for the future as confident, happy citizens.

Rise is a family of schools. We work with and for each other.

We currently comprise of 23 CofE and Community primary schools, Great strides have been made and we are proud of the fact that all our schools are now deemed to be’ Good’ in the eyes of Ofsted. We want, however, for that milestone to be a marker on our journey, rather than the destination itself. Our family of schools are all different shapes and sizes, serving rich and varied communities and that is one of the many things we love about our Trust.

Our vision and our values show how we place great importance on what we do and how we do it. Our values underpin our interactions with each other and strengthen our sense of family. Children are placed at the heart of everything we do. Our team of staff are skilled, hardworking and committed to developing all of your child, not just their academic ability. We recognise that success for every child will be different and we celebrate this.

We are developing and maturing as a Trust. We are ambitious. We are evolving into a Trust that is led by schools for schools. Our headteachers and talented subject leaders play an active role in Trust and school improvement. Our central team are committed to serving schools in a manner that enables them to be great schools, doing great things that enable every child in a Rise school to both ‘flourish and succeed’; and ensuring that our colleagues and communities thrive in a similar way.

Our family of schools are all different shapes and sizes, serving rich and varied communities and that is one of the many things we love about our Trust.
