WELCOME FROM THE HEADTEACHER
Thank you for your interest in joining the team at Wroughton Academies.
In December 2016, Wroughton Academies (Wroughton Infant and Wroughton Junior Academies) proudly became a member of the Creative Education Trust, which consists of eleven secondary and six primary academies in the Midlands and Norfolk plus a central team.
As a CET school, we have access to outstanding support from the very best experts in school improvement and professional development. Our children also benefit from cross-trust enrichment activities and an innovative approach to cross-curricular development through the ‘Knowledge Connected’ programme.
Our mission at Wroughton Academies is clear – ‘Through the highest expectations, we ensure that children have the knowledge, understanding and skills to be confident and successful’. We strive to achieve this mission through our excellent staff team, alongside a programme of professional training and development which is supported by a designated staff training room.
We are a large but friendly staff team who understand the importance of a high-quality education to support all pupils to achieve their full potential. Our curriculum is therefore integral to everything we do. We place a high priority on ensuring that children leave us with the necessary skills and passion for reading. Phonics is taught through the Read Write Inc Programme, and we use our ‘Steps to Read’ curriculum to develop comprehension skills. Our children access books in our wonderful library and regularly complete Accelerated Reader quizzes.
We have a strong maths curriculum, also integrated with a very clear maths calculations policy. For other subjects, we have adopted the CUSP curriculum, which not only ensures coverage of subject knowledge in Science and other subjects, but ensures that children have the opportunity to learn about a diverse range of topics. We equally focus on Music, Spanish, RE, PSHE and PE and love to provide opportunities for our children to perform. We are lucky enough to have extensive outdoor grounds where the children play and learn.
If you think you have the qualities to help us to achieve our vision, we look forward to receiving your application.
