Partnerships and collaboration run through all that we do at Wychwood School.
The principal aim of our community outreach is to establish and build further links between Wychwood School and our surrounding primary schools. Born from our very successful Saturday Outreach – Wychwood Inspires, we have developed activities that we would be delighted to share with you, either in your school – or here at Wychwood.
These activities are mutually beneficial. Often Student led, they allow us to further develop confidence and resilience in our own Student body, whilst they act as role models and ambassadors to your pupils. It is also valuable experience for our own staff too, allowing them to see a different teaching environment, supporting their own development.
We are stronger and better together, and these partnerships are evidence of this.
