Welcome

On behalf of everyone at Wittersham Church of England Primary School, I am delighted to welcome you to our website. We are incredibly proud of our small rural school, set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and of all the children who are part of our Wittersham family.

As a Church of England school, our Christian vision is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our values of courage, compassion, and cooperation, we strive to ensure every child feels valued, nurtured, and empowered. This vision shapes our decisions and inspires our staff, governors, and wider community to provide the very best for all our pupils.

At Wittersham, each child is recognised as an individual with unique talents, strengths, and needs. We encourage inquisitive minds, a thirst for challenge, and the development of resilience and independence. Our dedicated staff team work tirelessly to deliver a broad and ambitious curriculum, while our strong commitment to nurture and wellbeing ensures children are supported in every aspect of their learning journey. We maintain high expectations for learning and behaviour and celebrate the many ways our pupils achieve and flourish, both academically and personally.

We are proud that in 2024 our Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) described Wittersham as a “place of kindness and love, driven by its Christian vision.” Our most recent Ofsted inspection (2025) judged us to be ‘Good’ in all areas, highlighting our strong SEND provision, high expectations for behaviour, ambitious curriculum, and our newly established Nurture provision, The Orchard, as a strength of the school. Inspectors praised our welcoming, inclusive environment, where pupils thrive in a culture of trust, respect, and high aspiration.

Our unique rural setting enriches every aspect of school life. Forest School, outdoor learning, and opportunities to connect with the natural world are woven into the Wittersham curriculum, supporting children’s holistic development and love of learning. Alongside this, our wide range of extracurricular and enrichment opportunities help to build confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of belonging.

We believe that education is most powerful when school and home work in partnership. Parents and carers are central to our school community, and together with our committed staff and governors, we strive to nurture, empower, and inspire every child to succeed.

If you would like to know more about our school or arrange a visit, please do get in touch. We would be delighted to welcome you and share the wonderful spirit of Wittersham Church of England Primary School.
