Welcome.

Welcome to the Western Church of England Primary School website.  My name is Mrs Lorraine Smith and I am the headteacher of the School.

Western is a popular school, in an ideal location and is set in very attractive, extensive grounds.  There are games pitches, three playgrounds, a grassed play area which includes a Fitness Trail and nature trail.  The school site has far reaching views over Winchester and the surrounding countryside.

We have good facilities at Western: our well resourced library is at the heart of our active, enquiry based approach to learning and provides an oasis of calm in our busy school.  We have upgraded all the computers in the ICT suite and children learn to use technology to support their own learning and research.  Music is a strength of the school and the music/drama room ensures that we develop children's creative talents during and beyond lessons.

Our pupils are sociable, articulate and creative; they respond well to responsibility and challenge.  We believe an imaginative, well-planned curriculum enables children to Imagine, Create and Achieve.  We want them to be inspired by the learning opportunities on offer so they can become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

I hope you enjoy exploring our website and that it gives you an insight into the school, its ethos and the staff, families and governors who are all part of our community.

Mrs Lorraine Smith.
