“We have a friendly, caring school with high expectations and ambition for our pupils. “
Mrs Z Jepson, Headteacher
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.
As a RISE Reception Network Lead School, we support primary schools by sharing effective practice, building professional networks and contributing to the government’s aim that 75% of children receive a Good Level of Development by 2028.

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.”
Year 5 Explore Tenths!
This week, Year 5 began their learning on decimal fractions by exploring tenths as part of a whole.
The children investigated tenths in a range of practical contexts to deepen their understanding that a whole can be divided into 10 equal parts. They worked collaboratively using: Water to explore tenths of a litre, Rice to investigate tenths of a kilogram and Metre sticks to find tenths of a metre.
Through hands-on activities, pupils identified and represented tenths, discussed why the parts must be equal, and discovered that 10 tenths are equal to one whole.
We were impressed by the children's mathematical discussions and their ability to make connections between fractions and real-life measures.

This project allows us to provide enhanced support for our military-connected pupils and families, helping every child to feel welcomed, supported and connected within our school community.
We are excited to continue developing opportunities that strengthen wellbeing, inclusion and belonging for all our service children.

The children in Year 1 have been busy starting their History learning by developing their understanding of timelines and how they help us understand when events happened in the past.
We began by exploring when the children in Reception and Year 1 were born, comparing these dates with when their parents and teachers were born. This helped the children to see how timelines can show the passing of time and place events in chronological order.
The children then created their own family timelines using compare bears and cubes to represent when different members of their family were born. They enjoyed making connections between generations and developing their understanding of the past in a practical and engaging way.
