Welcome from the Headteacher and Chair of Governors


Welcome message from Gareth Kynaston, Headteacher

Wendover Church of England Junior School is a large junior school set in delightful surroundings. We share a campus with John Hampden Infant School and John Colet Academy and work closely with both organisations.

We are a successful school with a purposeful atmosphere and a strong sense of community, including parents, staff, RAF Halton, the Church and local community.

Our aims and values are underpinned by Christian belief and practice.  The school provides an excellent environment for learning where expectations are high for both achievement and behaviour. We want all of our children to develop lifelong learning skills and positive dispositions.

I consider it a privilege to be a member of this school family and the continual work to improve the life chances of our young people. If you would like to know more, or would like to visit us, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

 

Message from Jo Garlick, Joint Chair of Governors

I am very pleased, on behalf of the Governing Body, to welcome you to Wendover CE Junior School.   Our aim is to be a school where every child matters and has the ability to learn and achieve well, in a stimulating, effective,  creative  and  excellent  environment. The  Governing  Body  works  as  a  single  team  with  the Headteacher and the rest of the staff to realise this vision.

While  we  appreciate  the  value  of  academic  success,  we  encourage  children to strive for excellence in whatever direction  their  talents  lie.  Your  child  will  have  many  opportunities  to  develop  their  skills  in  a variety of areas, both within the classroom and in the exciting range of extra-curricular activities that we offer.   Every year I go to the Year 6 Leavers’ Production, Sports Day and concerts and I am amazed by the development of maturity and skills demonstrated by all our children.  As you will be aware, we are a church school and our Christian ethos is supported by strong links with St Mary’s Church.


The governors are involved in the life of the school in many ways.   We are represented at all school and PTA events and are also available at consultation evenings should you wish to speak to us or find out more about our work.   I look forward to meeting you on one of these occasions.
