About Our School

WPS opened in 2016 with two Reception and four Year 7 classes. In the 2017/2018 academic year, WPS has grown to include two Year 1 classes and four Year 8 classes. Currently a small school, we will grow exponentially year on year and are in the exciting stages of planning and building our new £20 million school premises facilities which will be completed in 2019/2020, ready for when WPS reaches its full capacity of 1,260 learners. As our school grows, so too does the need for high quality support staff. We are looking to build our committed and passionate team in line with our growing school.

Wootton Park School offers a first-rate and unique learning environment, ensuring high levels of academic achievement and personal development for all, while promoting the value of public service and building a stronger society.

“The school is truly innovative”.

“The pupils are confident, self-assured learners”.

If you are inspired by this exceptional opportunity to join us at this early stage of our journey to excellence, we want to hear from you.
