Approach overview

Wyborne Primary School is a proud, successful, and inclusive school that welcomes children from diverse backgrounds and abilities, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive. Our school values—Empathy, Empowerment, Curiosity, Collaboration, and Champion—are central to our ethos and shape the way we support our children’s’ holistic development:

  • Empathy: We encourage the children to understand and share the feelings of others, promoting kindness, respect, and compassion throughout our school community. 
  • Empowerment: We aim to empower the children by giving them the confidence and tools to take ownership of their learning and personal growth. 
  • Curiosity: Wyborne fosters a love of learning through a curriculum that stimulates curiosity and encourages the children to explore and question the world around them. 
  • Collaboration: Collaboration is at the heart of how we operate as a school community. Whether in the classroom, during sports, or in extracurricular activities, we emphasise teamwork and cooperative learning. 
  • Champion: We champion every child, ensuring that each one feels supported and celebrated for their unique abilities and contributions. 

 

These values are embedded in every aspect of school life at Wyborne, guiding our mission to create confident, compassionate, and empowered individuals who are prepared to make positive contributions to society.

Wyborne Primary School's testimonials

Why we joined the Next Big 10

We admire Big Education and the work that is happening. We too want to be forward thinking. We want to learn from others and collaborate with schools and educationalists that are also innovative and not afraid to try new things and take risks.
James Searjeant, Headteacher
Working in education, you are always learning, growing and evolving your practice. Early in your career, you are taught the plan/do/review cycle, and it never ends. It is important to us as a school that we avoid silo thinking and collaborate with other forward-thinking schools to be education pioneers. The Rethinking School project will provide us with opportunities to work with like-minded colleagues and discover new and exciting practices to inform the work we are doing.
Robyn Heath, Deputy Headteacher
