Welcome
On behalf of the staff, governors and pupils, I would like to warmly welcome you to our school.
Watling Street Primary is built on a foundation of strong relationships with our families and local community. Our school values – aspiration, community, kindness, learning, resilience and respect – are embedded in everything we do.
We pride ourselves on knowing our children and their families and supporting them in every way we can.
At Watling Street, everyone works together to allow our children to develop, learn and succeed in a safe, happy and nurturing environment. Our school moto ‘Learning Together’ is reflected though our broad and balanced curriculum, where the children, their families and our dedicated team of staff collectively ensure that our children always reach their potential.
We hope you enjoy learning more about our school. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office if you have any further questions, would like a paper copy of any infomration on this website or if would like to come and visit - we would love to meet you.

Pupils are proud to belong to the Watling Street community. There is a shared sense of pride and positivity throughout the school. School values such as respect, aspiration and resilience are at the heart of every decision made.
Leaders have high expectations of all pupils and expect them to work hard, which they do.
Pupils achieve well. They show positive attitudes towards their learning.
Staff expect pupils to behave well, and pupils respond well to these high expectations.
The environment is calm, with staff and pupils having mutual respect for each other.
Pupils value kindness. Opportunities, such as older pupils supporting younger pupils as ‘special friends’, help pupils to show kindness to one another.
The school provides a positive, nurturing and inclusive learning environment for all children, setting high expectations for all with clear and consistent boundaries.
Longer, softer transitions have been developed to ensure the needs of all children are understood and met. Enhanced transition provision is made for vulnerable children who may have already experienced significant upheaval or transitions within their lived experiences.
During the assessment day, the children were able to share their knowledge of the Six Principles of Nurture from Flourish Assemblies. These Flourish Assemblies were clearly having the desired impact.
'OPAL play has been incredible’, staff shared how the stage not age developmental opportunities OPAL play provided have been so valuable. Children, staff and parents spoke about the positive impact the developmental play opportunities were having on all aspects of the children’s learning and progress.
