We believe that every student at Wormley Primary should have the opportunity to achieve the best possible start to life. We are committed to breaking down any barriers to outstanding achievement and attainment.
The pupil premium is a sum of money given to schools each year by the Government to raise the achievement of disadvantaged pupils from reception to year 11. Funding is for children from low-income families who have been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years (FSM ‘Ever 6’) or are looked after children or from families with parents in the Armed Forces. If you think your child may be eligible for this additional funding then let us know or visit:
Years 3 – 6: Use the above link to check eligibility and apply for pupil premium
Reception, Year 1 or 2: Although your child will automatically receive universal free school meals, you should still register on the above link as, if eligible, the school could get extra money to support your child
Pre-school & Nursery: Please speak to the school directly
Earlier this week, our new Year 6 worship team led a whole school assembly to teach about this month’s Christian value of commitment. They planned the assembly themselves with a clear message about the importance of being committed to everything we do. With some drama, poetry, prayer and singing they led a fabulous assembly. Well done! 
Please support Pupil Parliament with their fund raising for Children in Need.
On Friday November 17th, pupils (and staff!) can wear pyjamas and slippers to school in return for a £1 donation.
There will also be a cake sale on the KS2 playground after school on that same day. Please donate generously.
On Monday 6th November, our sponsors of Wormley Community Art Bus gathered for a blessing of the bus, led by Reverend Malcolm Finlay. After a year of hard toil, this exciting learning place is officially open for business. Pupils are already enjoying their art lessons in this bespoke environment. Soon, parent and toddlers will make art together and we may attract an artist in residence to hold art clubs during holidays for the local community. The bus is a vision by Art Leader, Ashleigh Davies, who sourced an old London Bus and converted it into an amazing art studio.
Thank you to our parents who were able to attend our Tea and Toast morning earlier this month. We appreciate your time and input into how the school can improve.
Our next meeting is Wednesday 29th November at 9am.
You highlighted a number of things we do very well such as how well we know the children; how children are given opportunities to lead and take responsibility; and Forest School Education.
There were three key areas identified for improvement:
Friends of Wormley: Some parents have expressed an interest in joining a PTA committee to raise funds for the school (more details on the newsletter – 9th November).
Security gates: The governing body undertake an annual risk assessment to ensure that the level of security of our premises keeps pupils safe. A request for electric gates was investigated but costs would be in excess of £20,000 and the school has no funds for this at present.
Communication: There are a number of ways you can keep in touch with what is happening at school – these are detailed below.
If you ever need to talk in depth with your class teacher about your child, please contact the school and the teacher will phone you back or make an appointment to meet.
