Our children are taught by a team of dedicated and experienced staff, who lead the school in a spirit of willingness and co-operation. They work effectively as one team with the needs of each individual child a priority. Ongoing training enables staff to further develop their professional skills and support the School Development Plan.  Every member of staff plays a key role in making Wootton School the special place that it is. The following are comments from our Ofsted Inspection Report of March 2009.

Under the highly committed leadership of the headteacher, the school works hard to give pupils a well-rounded education and ensures that they make good progress in their learning.

Pupils make good progress because they are taught well. School leaders ensure that teachers
make good use of assessment information to plan lessons and to follow pupils' progress.
Teachers set high expectations of work and behaviour for their pupils. As a result, classrooms
are calm, purposeful places where pupils behave very well, work hard and try to do their best.
Teachers mark pupils' work well, giving useful guidance on how to improve. Skilled teaching
assistants work closely with the teachers to ensure that the needs of pupils who find learning
difficult are very well catered for. As a result, they make the same good progress as their
classmates.

The exciting curriculum makes a substantial contribution to pupils' good academic and excellent
personal development.

Teachers make creative links between subjects to make learning more interesting and relevant for pupils. As a result, there are increasingly good opportunities for pupils to extend their skills by writing purposefully in different subjects. Pupils have good opportunities to solve problems and to do investigations in mathematics and science.
