School & Pre-School
School
Woolsery SchoolThe Woolsery Board opened its school in January 1879 in the centre of the village and the front of the school is very similar today, although an extra classroom was added at the beginning of this century and more recently the kitchen.
In 1988 further re-modelling was completed with the addition of a libarary and three new classrooms. In 1997 two mobile classrooms were installed on the site of the old swimming pool, one of which is home to our partner Sunflowers Preschool. The School now has a hall, five teaching areas and a resources/library area, with group work rooms and, our most recent addition, a fantastic school vegetable garden. Since September 2008, we have been designated as a Forest School, with all children undertaking outdoor learning for six week blocks each term throughout the year. Much of this work is done in our own Forest School area which is sited on our school field, but we also use the nearby Forestry Commission land at Clifford. Our school numbers continue to rise, and in January 2008 we moved to a five-class structure. In January 2010, we will have around 135 children on roll. The school is proud of the reputation it holds within the wider community and the fact that it draws up to a fifth of pupils from a wider area than its immediate catchment. We attach great importance to the caring family atmosphere which we encourage and maintain. For more information, please have a look at our website www.woolsery.devon.sch.uk

Many people find it daunting and unsettling to go into a new situation, never more so than when they are a new parent. The thought of unfamiliar faces and new places can make it hard for even the most confident person to get up the courage to go a new playgroup. |
