From the St William's Primary School
It is a pleasure to have you visit St. William's Primary School. The tremendous variety of activities that our kids participate in on a daily and weekly basis are only partially represented on our website. It outlines the advancements and diverse range of accomplishments our kids make. As well as information about our school, our website contains class blog pages and photographs to show you some of the work our children have done and some of the huge range of activities they take part in including sport, music, art and outdoor learning. You can view the excursions we've taken and the guests we've had in class to stimulate our learning. The students at St. William's School are aware that the finest learning occurs when we put in a lot of effort and don't give up when we fail. We learn more effectively the more effort we put in. They speak with assurance about the "St. William's Way," which ensures that we Learn, Laugh, and Shine! I'm incredibly honoured to lead St. William's as headteacher. We are all working together to make this school the best it can be for each and every student, including the students, their families, our staff, and the governors.
