The Governors
Thank you for expressing an interest in The Schools of Woolton Hill. Both our schools are friendly, engaging places, full of life, very much at the heart of the village and our community.
The schools have always been very popular with both children from the local villages, and nearby Newbury. Parents are often drawn to the village school environment and exceptional community engagement, that can be found within. It is regularly commented on by our parents, and we truly value the ethos, and culture it promotes.
We also appreciate good progress and high standards, which we strive for the children to achieve during their time in our school.
Due to our village location, our school is extremely lucky to have an enviable outside space, that few others can offer. This allows us to deliver many, varied activities and experiences. These ensure the children can develop a love of learning, both inside and outside the classroom, offering a breadth of curriculum that many cannot replicate. Along with dedicated and experienced teachers and support staff who, all contribute to the children’s success.
I do hope that you have found the information contained in this prospectus helpful. We believe our school is a great place to be, and hope you do too!
