YR Starters 23-24

Welcome to Reception at
Warbstow Primary Academy

Welcome to the Aspire Academy Trust.

Aspire is a vibrant, highly successful and widely recognised Trust determined to raise standards of educational achievement to the very highest levels. We don’t just aim for our children to achieve what is average or expected, but for them to excel both academically and in character.

We live in a global economy that requires our children to be prepared to think both critically and creatively, solve complex problems, and to communicate well. Mastery of the basics: reading, writing, maths and technology is our core purpose, and this sits firmly alongside ensuring our children have well-developed social and emotional skills. Aspire academies have a strong emphasis on the sport, arts and social, moral spiritual and cultural education.

All our 29 schools and academies are an integral part of their local communities and have a real sense of identity. We value the contribution each of our communities makes and the distinctive opportunities and diversity it offers to the Trust. By working in true partnership, we offer exceptional learning experiences to all our children, so they benefit from the strength that being part of the extended Aspire family brings. If you want to learn more about us, then please visit our website at www.aspireacademytrust.org

I look forward to hopefully welcoming you to the Aspire family!

Head of School Welcome

Mrs H Bancroft
Head of School

It is my absolute privilege to lead our wonderful school community where we all work and play together.

Happy and confident children do well at school, we can only learn when we are feeling safe, happy, enjoying ourselves and smiling. As a teacher I have high aspirations for the children in my care, inspiring and empowering them to be the very best they can be. My vision for all the children at Warbstow is for them to have the best of educations, for them to say "that was a great day".

We are small enough to be able to focus on each child meaning that we are able to support their development and cater learning for their needs, interests and aspirations. Our mission statement “small and mighty is the Warbstow way" encapsulates our school to perfection.
