Welcome to Wansdyke Community School and Specialist Learning Centre Website!

Thank you for your interest in our school! We are very proud of our school and of what we all achieve. At Wansdyke we aim to encourage all our children to achieve their fullest potential, not only in what they learn in the classroom, but across the whole spectrum of school life. We believe that happy motivated children achieve most. All the staff take great care to ensure the school is a place where children will be happy, whilst learning to express themselves fully and to develop as individuals.

I am confident that we succeed in this, but would invite you to see the school for yourself. Your child’s education does not only take place during the time they spend in school. What happens at home is just as important. We aim to build a partnership between home and school so that together we can make this important stage in your child’s life as rewarding as possible.

ECO SCHOOLS – RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT

We continue to recycle an estimated 100kg of paper a month.

Most of the schools cardboard waste is recycled by staff and parents.

Over 300 yellow Pages recycled in the 2008 recycle drive spearheaded by Kennet District Council.

In 2008 two hundred and fifty trees were planted in the school grounds.

Composting of fruit and vegetable waste ongoing.

Over 100 used printer cartridges recycled.

Over 200 old mobile phones recycled (for which we received £300 which is held by the Friends of Wansdyke School as an Eco Fund).

In 2008 Cycle Proficiency (as Bikeability) re established.

Healthy Schools ongoing.

During ongoing refurbishment Eco aspects are always placed high on the agenda, i.e. the lighting is being switched over from fluorescent tube to more Eco friendly units many of which are movement sensor linked to come on and off only when rooms are occupied.

We were not successfull in bidding for a grant from the CoOp for Solar Panelling. Despite having many south facing sloping roofs we were unlucky but continue to search out any future opportunities.

2007 Bronze Award achieved.2008 Silver Award achieved.

On 30 Nov 2009 Green Flag Award achieved.
