Welcome From the Executive Head Teacher

A very warm welcome to Wood Street Infant School.  We hope that you will find this website interesting and informative and that is will give you some insight into life at our school.  Our school is part of a Federation with Worplesdon Primary School and I am proud to be the Executive Headteacher over both schools and hope that our website inspires you to visit us and see the schools in action.

The schools federated in September 2022 and we believe together, we will continue to go from strength to strength. We believe that children get just one childhood: it should be a magical and happy time where education should leave a host of positive and deep meaningful memories that last for the rest of their lives. With this in mind children are at the heart of every decision we make. We aim for every child to be happy, confident, risk takers who fulfil their potential.  We provide a nurturing environment where we value each child and promote positive attitudes and lifelong learning to help children grow into independent, respectful and creative adults with their own unique gifts and talents who love life and learning.

Our lasting legacy is that children leave our federation with happy memories. They will be confident and independent individuals who understand the importance of learning from their mistakes. They will have a love of life and learning, and will be ready to move into their next phase of education.

As federated schools, we have a unique offer; a small infant school of 90 or a large primary school of 540 for your child’s start to school. We do hope you will be able to visit and see the schools in action so you can decide which will be the best fit for your child. However, in the meantime, we hope our website gives an insight into the distinguishing features of our school and how we believe we get the balance right for each child in our care.

Best wishes,

Kareen O’Brien
