Headteacher's Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to Warden House, a happy and vibrant community. We are a supportive, friendly and nurturing school with high expectations for all of our children.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our curriculum and the enriching opportunities our children receive. We believe every child should be encouraged to explore, discover and question through a range of exciting learning opportunities both within and outside the classroom. We are so fortunate to be surrounded by an abundance of open space, offering children the chance to build confidence and independence through hands-on, outdoor learning experiences.

As a school community, we work together to support children in their development as they gain knowledge, develop emotionally and gain a sense of citizenship which will enable them to succeed both now and in the future.

Our values underpin all aspects of school life. Children are positive learners; always supporting and challenging each other in their thinking as good learning partners. Our children are independent and determined, always striving to be successful in all they do as responsible young citizens.

We work in partnership with parents and the wider community to ensure the success of our children. We believe in inclusivity, driven by an educational offer based on equity, diversity and an understanding of others. Valuing the strengths of each child, we work together to address their needs individually, so children are able to thrive and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Please give the school a call if you would like to find out more or arrange a visit. I look forward to welcoming you.

Veritas MAT works in a collaborative partnership with schools with an uncompromising focus on quality education, strong academic standards, high expectations and aspirations for all our pupils.

The MAT has three core values underpinning our work:

Innovative - Through strong collaboration across the Trust, our academies and staff uphold an innovative approach to staff development through embedding research informed practice. Through a positive and dynamic approach to research based pedagogy, staff across the Trust continuously reflect on their practice to create an environment where innovation leads to irresistible learning for all.

Inclusive - With a firm belief that as a Trust we are stronger together; we create an inclusive environment across our academies where staff and pupils feel emotionally and physically safe. Our academies are outward facing and create an environment where differences in gender, culture, disability and educational needs are embraced and celebrated; leading to irresistible learning for all.

Inspirational - Through inspirational leadership, teaching and learning; our academies create a climate where children, staff and parents strive to achieve and aspire for greatness. With strong collaborations we share practice and challenge one another using the principles of mentor-coaching to celebrate success and support improvement. High standards across a rich and diverse curriculum delivered in each academy leads to irresistible learning for all that is individual to each academy but reflects the shared ethos of the Trust.
