Our values guide our behaviours and thinking so that we can create a purposeful and happy school community. Our ‘Values Ladders’ help us celebrate this culture across the school and remind us that during work or at play we should all be demonstrating our values and working to improve them.

Pupil Premium

At Watlington Primary School, we spend our Pupil Premium funding in effective ways, considering both the academic and social needs of the children in our care. We target the funding well from the outset, being responsive and flexible to individual needs and use progress and tracking procedures to identify the strengths and weaknesses of individual pupils. Strategies are routinely evaluated and analysed, as is the impact upon pupil attainment.
