“We have a friendly, caring school with high expectations and ambition for our pupils. “
Mrs Z Jepson, Headteacher
In our recent Ofsted report, inspectors praised the unwavering ambition staff at the school hold for every child, noting that our inspiring motto – “If they have wings, why make them walk?” – is truly lived out in the day-to-day experience of pupils.
Headteacher Mrs Jepson said: “Our mission has always been to help each pupil find their ‘wings’ – this ambition will continue to be the driving force behind everything we do.”
At Waddington All Saints Academy our aim is to provide a learning environment and experience that enables children to thrive and develop as learners and leaders.
We want to inspire and motivate all children to have a wonderful desire to learn and grow as individuals and as a collective. To empower and support them to become life-long learners who are prepared to take risks, learn with growing independence and develop skills that enable them to fly high academically, socially, emotionally and physically.
We want our pupils to thrive as a result of our ambition for them to succeed beyond their own expectations and through the identification and removal of their barriers to learning and achievement.
Through the delivery of irresistible learning opportunities and rich experience, we strive to give children the ability and confidence to work and speak as experts; progressively building transferable knowledge and understanding that is memorable, broad and empowering. This, alongside the relentless drive for high quality outcomes and progress, underpinned by excellence and pride, exemplifies our ambition for our pupils.
We expect pupils to behave as responsible good citizens and role models, supporting them to understand the choices and behaviours that will enable them to make positive decisions. We do this within a culture of mutual respect for all within our community, encouraging kindness, tolerance and care for others
We measure our success in our ability to support pupils to have the skills, knowledge, personal qualities and drive to be successful within the next stages of their life and beyond and to make a positive contribution to life in modern Britain.

British Science Week!
The theme “Curiosity – What is your question?” inspired our pupils to think like real scientists.
Each class was given their very own challenge question which sparked their curiosity. Throughout the week, the pupils explored their questions by being science experts as they made careful observations, gathered information and performed tests. Alongside their scientific investigations, they were also inspired to become gardeners. They prepared planting areas, explored what plants need to grow, and took great care of our school environment.
It was wonderful to see every child engaged, enthusiastic, and eager to explore the world around them. Their creativity, teamwork and scientific thinking truly shone — both in the classroom and in the garden!

Archaeologists at work!
As archaeologists, Year 3 looked at a range of artefacts to find out about life in Ancient Greece. As historians, they used their knowledge and understanding to explain what they were and what they told us about this civilisation.
