At Woodchurch CE Primary School, The Woodchurch Way is the heart of how we live, learn, and grow together. It’s a shared commitment from children, staff, and families to create a safe, happy, and respectful community.

Our Core Rules and Expectations

We expect everyone in our school community to follow these simple but important guidelines every day:

• Respect yourself and others

• Be honest

• Follow ‘One Voice’ (listen and speak at the right time)

• Walk quietly and sensibly around the school

• Listen to everyone—friends, teachers, and visitors

• Keep yourself and others safe

• Always do your best and never give up

• Love our school and take care of it

• Be kind and polite to everyone

Why The Woodchurch Way Matters

These rules help us build a caring and supportive community where everyone feels valued. They encourage us to be responsible, to work hard, and to treat each other with kindness and respect.

How We Use The Woodchurch Way

• Children learn these expectations from their first day and are reminded of them throughout the year in class and school assemblies.

• Staff model these values and support children in following them every day.

• Families are encouraged to reinforce The Woodchurch Way at home, helping children carry these positive habits beyond school.

A Daily Guide for Our Community

The Woodchurch Way is visible around school—on posters, in classrooms, and shared during worship and lessons. It helps everyone understand what is expected and what it means to be part of the Woodchurch family.

Together, by following The Woodchurch Way, we create a school where everyone can learn, grow, and feel proud to belong.
