Weald Rise is a thriving, dynamic, forward thinking school for children aged three to eleven years of age. At Weald Rise we actively seek to make a positive difference to every child’s learning journey. We know that teaching is our core purpose and we endeavour to ensure our provision is the very best possible. The talented teaching teams at Weald Rise Primary are our biggest asset – they consist of teachers, teaching assistants, higher level teaching assistants and subject specialists (PE, French, Science and Music). Our teaching teams are supported by our Welfare Assistants, our Pastoral team which includes a Learning Mentor and a counsellor. The staff teams at Weald Rise work together to provide the guidance, encouragement and challenge every child needs to progress in their learning and fulfil their potential.

Our school community is diverse and reflects the cosmopolitan nature of our neighbourhood. Our children vary in their abilities and we aspire to instil a love of learning in each and every one of them. We continually endeavour to provide an exciting, relevant and challenging curriculum which includes stimulating events such as topic launch days, whole school theme weeks, trips and regular visitors to school.

Our morning and after school care are a huge convenience to working families. We offer a good variety of lunch time and after school clubs, which are run by members of staff. We work with our extended school partners to provide support and guidance to families within our locality. We also regularly lead information sessions for parents who we value as equal partners in their child’s education.

“At Weald Rise Primary School, we aim to create a vibrant community which celebrates and creates diversity. We strive to develop confident lifelong learners which allows individuals to flourish and be prepared to rise to the challenges of the future”.

Our children come first and our priority is to deliver high quality teaching and learning whilst at the same time providing rich and truly enjoyable learning experiences for our community of children. We believe all children can be successful when they are provided with an education which engages and challenges them. So everything we do as a school is to ensure that the children achieve their very best. We want all our children to reach for the highest level of personal achievement and development, so that when they leave us, they have a love of learning for the rest of their lives.

To this end, all staff and pupils are involved in promoting the values of co-operation, resilience, being ambitious and being respectful so that our school is a happy and safe place to work and learn together. Through our lessons, assemblies and everyday interactions between staff and pupils we encourage a deeper understanding of these values and their importance to life through our choices and actions.
