IN December, our school was inspected by the Church of England and we are proud to say the overall result was that the “distinctiveness and effectiveness” of the school as a Church of England school was judged to be “good” by the Inspectors.

Wolverley has only been part of the Church of England family of schools since 2007. During these last few years there has been rapid improvement and the school is now classed as “outstanding” at meeting the needs of all its learners.

We were delighted with the outcome and pleased that Wolverley has improved consistently since 2007.The inspection rewarded the very hard work of all our students, staff and parents. The school is now very well placed to continue to grow and provide a very distinctive and effective education to all our pupils.

The inspector was particularly keen to comment on the positive, calm learning environment, saying that Wolverley is “a well-ordered community with a high level of mutual respect that can be witnessed in the relationships that exist between all members of the school community”. He added: “The positive Christian ethos of the school ensures that all pupils are valued. The vision of the head teacher, supported by his staff and governing body, is creating an effective, forward looking and caring school in a happy and secure learning environment.”

We move forward into the next academic year with lots of new ideas and plans to develop our distinctiveness even further.
