Welcome from the Head Teacher
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the position of Class Teacher at Wexham Court Primary. I believe that this school is like no other. Over the last few years, we have worked together to define what education means to us, what our environment should look and feel like. As such, our school vision and values are underpinned by our guiding principle:
Ubuntu – I am, because you are .
This means that we are bonded together and working as a team for the betterment of all.
We are a forward thinking and innovative school, trying to embrace 21 st century learning styles. As a school community, we are very open minded and ready to embrace new and exciting challenges together. We are an inclusive school, where staff must be prepared to analyse and have challenged their bias, prejudice and attitudes.
Our SLT Credo:
We are responsible for the growth and development of our children. They deserve our best efforts and attention. By developing and supporting our teachers and nurturing our parents, we believe we can have the greatest impact on our children.
As an SLT we feel that we can best help children by ensuring their teachers are highly skilled and prepared to teach without distraction or unnecessary loads. The biggest difference to teaching and learning is the expertise of teachers. Therefore, professional development is ongoing and delivered through our Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). These are led by knowledgeable staff members with the aim to upskill everyone. We wish to recruit a practitioner who is ambitious, keen to learn and values our vision.
Finally, our children love school! In the morning they come running in, always smiling as they greet you. Behaviour is excellent because we know our children well and they would never want to let us down.
I am very proud of our school community. Through the last few years, they have risen to every occasion. I could not be more grateful for their commitment and determination. Come and speak to them and get the answers you need. All we require is good morals, a willingness to learn and the ability to work in a team. The rest we can work out.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Navroop Mehat and the WCPS team.

About Wexham Court Primary School
Our history:
* The school used to be a double Saxon Moat, and the evidence of the moat still remains .
* The school used to be a Medieval Farm that dates back to the 13 th century.
* The schools name is based on the manor house, home farm and church that were all part of the moated complex, known as Wexham Court Estate.
* We have oak trees that were planted in the 18 th century.
* There used to be a post office on site, which fell down 20 years ago.
* The site has a poly tunnel and various raised beds, in which all pupils grow their own produce. This is later served in the canteen or entered into the Stoke Poges Horticultural Show; which we have won for the last 7 years!
* The school used to be a middle school.
Our present
* Professional development is ongoing. We use evidence-based research to only do the things that work and matter.
* The listed Barn has been renovated and is now an exhibition site, regularly used by the children for various activities, including cooking the produce they harvest in the poly tunnel.
* We run national training events at the Barn.
* We are a Microsoft school and embrace technology everywhere.
* We value the arts, all children learn instruments, Spanish and have expert art experiences.
* Health is vital, our children eat well, skip daily, have an outdoor gym, MUGA and sports coach.
* Our curriculum is well sequenced, coherent and scaffolded to support all pupils.
* We value the arts and pastoral care as much as academic achievement.
* Our pupils are fit and healthy in spirt, body and mind.
* Work life balance – we have a strong culture of support! We work hard at school and home life is for living. Our teachers do not take work home, planning is completed in PPA and meetings after school are rare! Our staff are happy and satisfied because they are looked after and valued.
