A warm welcome from our Headteacher
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. It is my great privilege to welcome you to Kirkham & Wesham Primary School.
At KWPS, we are proud to be a warm, caring and inclusive school where every child is valued as an individual and encouraged to achieve their very best. Our vision, Belong, Believe, Be the Best You Can Be, is at the heart of everything we do and reflects our commitment to ensuring that all children feel safe, supported and inspired throughout their time with us.
We believe that every child has the potential to succeed. Through high expectations, strong relationships and a broad, ambitious curriculum, we provide opportunities for children to develop academically, socially and emotionally. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to be curious, resilient and confident learners who take pride in their achievements.
Our curriculum is designed to inspire a love of learning and develop the knowledge, skills and experiences children need to thrive both in school and beyond. Alongside high-quality teaching in reading, writing and mathematics, we offer a wide range of opportunities across the arts, sciences, sports, languages and personal development, helping children discover their talents and interests.
Enrichment plays a significant role in life at KWPS. Through educational visits, residential experiences, themed curriculum days, sporting events, performances, clubs and leadership opportunities, children are encouraged to broaden their horizons, develop new skills and create lasting memories. We believe these experiences help children build confidence, resilience and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
Our school values of Equity, Kindness, Pride, Responsibility, Honesty and Resilience underpin all aspects of school life and help us create a community built on mutual respect and understanding. We are proud of the positive relationships that exist between pupils, staff, families and the wider community, and we recognise the important role that partnership plays in supporting every child to succeed.
We are incredibly proud of our school family and all that our children achieve. By working together with parents, carers, governors and the local community, we ensure that every child leaves Kirkham & Wesham Primary School with the knowledge, skills, confidence and self-belief they need for the next stage of their education and beyond.
I hope our website provides you with a flavour of life at KWPS. If you would like to find out more, please do not hesitate to get in touch or arrange a visit. We would be delighted to welcome you to our school and share what makes Kirkham & Wesham Primary School such a special place to learn, grow and belong.
