We opened the doors to Watling Primary School in September 2023 for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. The next exciting phase of our development will see our Nursery open in September 2024.

At full capacity, our Nursery will accommodate 39 children. The school itself will be a 3-form entry primary with places for 630 pupils.

At Watling Primary School we strive to give children an education that will prepare them for a future we can’t even begin to imagine. In addition to all the other Primary National Curriculum subjects, we have a focus on developing STEM capabilities (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).

The holistic growth of every child through play, exploration, supported risk-taking and opportunities to make connections with the natural world forms an integral part of our curriculum. For this reason, learning outdoors in our Forest School is a key part of our provision.

We are looking for staff who are keen to be actively involved in all aspects of school development and who are not afraid to try something new. A great deal of autonomy will be given to the right candidates and they will have ample opportunities to really showcase their talents. As new roles become available in the school, staff who are on board from the beginning of the journey will be in a favourable position to put themselves forwards for these exciting opportunities.
