Enjoyment and Enrichment
Welcome to our website. We hope that you will
find it informative and that these pages capture something of the distinctive
ethos we strive to create.
We
believe West Pennard is a special place and we have many strengths, not least
our high standards, quality of care, a curriculum invigorated through enrichment
activities and a tremendous team of dedicated staff.
I am proud to say
that we are a school which has much to celebrate, not least our wonderful
location. Our children are encouraged to take a pride in this favoured setting
and to play their part in maintaining its richness.
We believe that the
Christian Foundation of the school supports the values which we encourage and
many families bring their children to West Pennard with this factor in the
forefront of their minds. We enjoy excellent links with St Nicholas' Church
whilst at the same time benefiting from regular visits from the clergy of the
local parishes.
Our child-friendly aims sum up the importance of all
members of the community respecting each other and the school environment. These
aims, shown below, are based around the RESPECT mnemonic and reflect the values
and attitudes we hold dear.

Our motto "To Try is to
Triumph" remains the ideal by which we all live and it is my belief that the
commitment and enthusiasm of the staff in both enjoying and supporting your
children to realise this aim, remains vital. If we have high expectations the
children will aspire to great things whatever their talents may be. I hope you
will find the website sufficiently detailed to create a picture of a very happy,
welcoming and successful school. If you would like to find out more please ring
the school and I would be delighted to show you round. You will be made most
welcome.

How to find us....
Last Wednesday Year 6 demonstrated their musical talents with a trumpet concert for their parents. They were supported by Mr Gouge on the piano, Miss Hammerton on the violin and Mr Smith on 'The Toilet'. I don't think it will catch on as a musical instrument!!!! We have such a talented bunch here at West Pennard!!!!
On Tuesday afternoon we had an inter-house football tournament. The house and vice captains each chose a team to represent their house, made up of children from Years 4, 5 and 6. The children had an absolutely fantastic time! Well done to Tintagel, who, although the underdogs, beat Avalon 1-0 in a thrilling final!
We had our cups assembly on Wednesday morning. Children were recognised for the progress they had made, their talents or their sheer determination to succeed. The 'Ware Cup' for determination was presented for the first time to Phoebe from Year 3 for the progress she has made in her work with Mrs Bradfield this year. Well done to all the children that were presented with an award. Mrs Morley told the children about the Somerset Library's Reading Challenge for the summer holidays. The children have been challenged to read at least 6 books over the summer. They need to go to their local library in order to take part. The challenge starts on the 19th July.
