As the Headteacher, I am incredibly proud of our extraordinary staff, the school’s integral role in the local community and every child who calls Werneth their home.
As a team, we are committed to making sure that your child makes excellent progress, no matter their starting point. Education is part of the foundation of their future success. That’s why we want expectations to be surpassed in every lesson, every day. But more than this, we want them to build a love of learning and understand all about the opportunities available to them.
