The Wilfred Owen School is situated off Woodcote Way as part of the Monkmoor Campus, which includes the Multi Agency Child and Family Support Services; Poppies, an independent childcare provider; and Severndale Special School. Situated on the edge of two housing estates, we overlook agricultural land to the rear. The River Severn is a five minute walk along public footpaths through the fields.
We moved in to a brand the new school building in September 2007. This school has many exciting features and was designed and built as a state of the art primary school.
The Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) was finished in May 2009. We are continuing to develop our outside areas for play, environmental areas and gardening and have won several awards for this.
The Wilfred Owen School is a Community Primary School with a nursery class. The nursery class caters for 60 part time children in two sessions; 30 in the morning and 30 in the afternoon. For 2015-2016 the remainder of the school will be arranged in seven classes with each class being largely of a single age group. The average class size is approximately thirty children with a current total of 199 children in the main school.
We are fortunate to have a school where everyone has the opportunity to know everyone else. The governors and staff are pleased with the friendly, supportive atmosphere that we have created as highlighted in our various inspections. Visitors to the school often comment on the excellent behaviour and attitude of our children and the ‘feel’ of the school.
