St Wilfrid's C of E Primary School

              ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full’  

  John 10:10

At St. Wilfrid’s we offer a curriculum which gives our children an opportunity to shine not just academically but which also provides a wide range of rich experiences to support their personal development. We provide opportunities to develop the children’s talents and interests as well as enhancing their social, moral, spiritual and cultural development.

Our residential trips give the children the opportunity to learn about themselves, others and the world around them but most of all they are about having fun with their friends!

We encourage our children to play an active role in our community, whether that is by raising money for local charities, visiting our neighbouring care home or by volunteering to help with our beehives.

We have lots of visitors throughout the year. We are excited to welcome a range of speakers to help the children understand the beliefs and opinions of others. Our visitors enrich our curriculum and bring learning alive. 

Reading is at the heart of everything we do. We all love to read at St. Wilfrid’s! World Book Day is one of our favourite days of the year.

We have our very own hive full of St. Wilfrid's bees! Our children have been involved at every stage of the honey making process. Our hive is situated in St. Wilfrid's church grounds and although this is our first year of making honey, we came fourth in the Frodsham honey show. It takes patience, commitment and teamwork to make the perfect honey. Our beekeepers visit the bees every week and look after them and the rest of the school reaps the rewards. Our honey tastes delicious!

One of the highlights of Year 6 is being a Reception buddy. The relationships between our oldest and youngest pupils develop across the year and often continues well after our Year 6 children leave.

We believe that it is our responsibility to not only give our children a thorough academic curriculum, but to also equip them with the skills they will need as they move forward in life, for example First Aid training, mental health workshops and financial guidance.

We have a number of pupil groups in school where children can demonstrate their leadership and teamwork skills as well as making  a difference at St Wilfrid’s. These include School Council, Sports Crew, Ethos group and Happiness Heroes.

We like to make our curriculum really come to life by giving the children opportunities to learn in different ways with various experiences. We also have our on-site Forest School which enables outdoor learning and environmental awareness.

We celebrate a wide range of festivals and holidays in school and the children always enjoy joining together to mark these special occasions. Our 175^th anniversary was a really special celebration and brought involvement from many past pupils including some in Australia!

We have 6 core Christian values at the heart of our curriculum – respect, sacrifice, love, hope, forgiveness and peace. The British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs are promoted through these values and through worship.
