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.

On Tuesday we played Upton Noble as part of our mini football league. The team played magnificently, as has so often been the case this season. We won 12-0 with notable performances from George and Sam. What a talented bunch we have!!!!
This week has been SATs week. The children in Class 2 and above have been taking tests in each of the core subjects, which will inform the teacher assessments taken by the class teachers throughout the year. The children have all worked extremely hard and have shown great maturity in their approach to the tests. Well done to all the children that have undergone testing this week.
On Friday, Year 6 leave for Manor Adventure. They will have a go at canoeing, kyaking, an underground maze, an obstacle course, abseiling and climbing. There is the confidence course as well. We will hear how they got on next week.
