At Wrekin View Primary School and Nursery, we are dedicated to preparing our pupils for the next stage in their education and future careers. Our commitment to fostering “happy, successful, curious communicators” drives our efforts to equip children with the essential skills, knowledge, and personal attributes needed to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

From the earliest years in our nursery through to the final year of primary school, we create a supportive and stimulating environment that encourages curiosity, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. Our curriculum is designed to provide pupils with a solid foundation in core academic subjects while also emphasising the development of essential life skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication.

We recognise the importance of instilling a growth mindset and strong work ethic in our pupils. By engaging them in a variety of purposeful learning experiences, we help them develop the confidence and adaptability required to navigate the challenges of the future. Our approach ensures that every child can access and benefit from the curriculum, regardless of their background or starting point.

Key elements of our employability and careers strategy include:

  1. Personal Development: We focus on the overall development of each pupil, fostering both academic excellence and social-emotional growth. This balanced approach prepares our pupils to be well-rounded individuals who can contribute positively to their communities.
  2. Skills for the Future: Our curriculum incorporates opportunities for pupils to develop 21st-century skills, including digital literacy, teamwork, and leadership. These skills are essential for success in future educational settings and the modern workplace.
  3. Inspiring Curiosity: We provide a wealth of enriching experiences, including trips, guest speakers, careers fair and project-based learning, to ignite our pupils’ curiosity and broaden their horizons. This exposure helps them understand the diverse opportunities available to them and inspires them to set ambitious goals.
  4. Strong Home-School Links: We work closely with families to support each child’s learning journey. By fostering strong home-school partnerships, we ensure that pupils receive consistent encouragement and guidance both at school and at home.
  5. Personalised Support: Our teachers are dedicated to knowing each pupil and their individual needs. Through personalised support, we help all children, including those with SEND and other vulnerabilities, to achieve their full potential.
  6. Celebrating Achievements: We recognise and celebrate the achievements of our pupils, fostering a sense of pride and motivation. By highlighting their successes, we build their confidence and encourage them to strive for excellence in all areas of their lives.

At Wrekin View Primary School and Nursery, we believe that the foundation for a successful future starts in primary education. Our comprehensive approach ensures that our pupils are well-prepared for the next stage in their education and beyond, equipped with the skills and attributes necessary to excel in their future careers and make meaningful contributions to society.
