At Watchfield Primary School, we are committed to developing the whole child. We teach our children how to be responsible people, who can work well, both independently and cooperatively, to develop the knowledge and skills required to achieve their true academic potential.

Our curriculum provides a wide variety of activities, which are largely topic based, to promote children’s learning and personal growth. It includes the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, alongside the range of extra-curricular activities organised to enrich our children’s experiences. It also includes the ‘hidden curriculum’: how children learn from the way they are treated and expected to behave.

It is underpinned by our strong ethos, based on care and respect. This is ‘The Watchfield Way’ in which everyone is valued and included; where equality, a sense of wonder at the world we live in and a curiosity for learning is fostered.  Our taught curriculum helps us achieve our whole-school vision:

Our Aims:

At Watchfield Primary School, we strive to create an environment where every child can spread their wings and soar. We want our pupils to fly high with confidence, flourish as learners, and shine as young people in today’s world, reaching their full potential.

Our Core Values form the foundation of everything we do:

• C – Curiosity
• R – Respect
• E – Excellence
• A – Ambition
• T – Tolerance
• E – Empathy

At the heart of CREATE are six guiding values. Curiosity drives us to explore, learn, and innovate. Respect ensures we honour the perspectives and dignity of everyone we encounter. Excellence motivates us to deliver the highest quality in all we do. Ambition inspires us to set meaningful goals and strive for continual growth. Tolerance encourages openness to diverse ideas and differences, fostering inclusivity. Empathy connects us to others, allowing us to act with compassion, understanding, and care. Together, these values define who we are and guide everything we create.
