It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the Headteacher of Watling Primary School.
As part of the Denbigh Alliance MAT, we embrace the Trust values of Care, Education and Opportunity.
Our vision is to create a learning community where all members feel valued, respected and empowered to develop to their full potential by ‘nurturing a passion for learning.’
I am very proud of our logo and what it stands for. Each of the distinctive shapes represents and celebrates the individual. The position of each shape as part of the collective combines to create a ‘W’ within the negative space. When the shapes are brought together, they create a whole.
Children and the community are at the heart of every decision we make. We will work tirelessly to equip our pupils with the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to develop as well-rounded individuals so that they are able to contribute positively to society as they develop and grow.
We want our children to be confident, ambitious and successful. For that reason, our standards and expectations of all members of our school community, irrespective of starting points or background, are extremely aspirational.
We are very fortunate to have amazing facilities as part of the new premises and grounds. Our outdoor areas include purpose-designed sports facilities, Multi Use Gym Areas (MUGAs), Forest School, sensory landscaping and hard and soft play areas. The designated learning spaces indoors include a multi-purpose STEM Room, Arts Studio, sensory room, group work rooms, library and purpose-designed staff areas.
Myself and the amazing Watling Primary School team are enjoying getting to know our new children and their families and working together at the start of this exciting adventure.
It is an absolute privilege to have the opportunity of creating a very special educational provision for the children of the local community and it is with great excitement that I venture with you into the future.
I look forward to welcoming you to our school in person very soon.
Vikki Pegg, Headteacher
