Working Together to Help Every Child Flourish
Together we Flourish | Aspire • Belong • Care
At Winford Church of England Primary School, we believe that strong partnerships between home and school help children to feel happy, safe and confident in their learning.
Our values of Aspire, Belong and Care guide the way we work with families. We share high aspirations for every child, want everyone to feel part of our welcoming school community and recognise the importance of supporting one another.

Communication and Working Together
We value open, positive communication and encourage families to share questions, concerns and successes with us.
ClassDojo is an important part of our communication with families, helping us share updates, celebrate learning and maintain strong links between home and school.
If you have a question or concern about your child, their class teacher is usually the best first point of contact.
You can also contact the school office if you need further assistance or would like to arrange a conversation with a member of the leadership team.
We ask everyone in our school community to communicate respectfully and work together in the best interests of children.
Our School Community
There are many ways for families to get involved in life at Winford.
From school events and celebrations to our Parent Teacher Association (PTA), volunteering and community activities, we value the contribution that families make.
Our value of Belong reminds us that everyone has something to offer and that our school is stronger when we work together.
