A Letter from the Headteacher
William Davies is a special place, developing resilient learners who are confident and adaptable. Our curriculum has been designed to give every child an experience and language rich education within our ethos of ensuring everyone at William Davies is Safe, Happy, Challenged and Makes Memories. We do this by pursuing our belief that children should be empowered to become powerful learners by instilling our Learning Powers: Be Curious, Be Resilient, Be Enthusiastic, Be Collaborative, Be Reflective, Be Adventurous.
We offer a curriculum which is broad, balanced and promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of our pupils. It aims to prepare pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
We have designed our own programme of education which comprises the national curriculum as well as other learning opportunities and experiences appropriate to the needs of our community. ‘The Questioning Curriculum’ encourages enquiry and promotes independent learning in order to develop self-confidence and resilience.
Our experienced and dedicated staff respond to the needs of the learners and teachers are creative in how this happens. A commitment to excellent professional development for all staff ensures teaching is of a high standard. We have high expectations for all our children both in their learning and behaviour and expect them to make a contribution to the school and wider community through celebration, an awareness of others and citizenship.Visitors to our school often comment on the supportive, caring ‘family’ atmosphere and respectful warm interactions between all members of our community. If you are interested in finding out more about our school first hand, please come and visit.
