At Wickham Common, we aim to develop successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

The school is set in extensive grounds which are well-used, particularly for sporting activities and outdoor learning, including Forest School activities and a designated wildlife pond garden.

There is a children’s kitchen, a spacious library, music room and an Art and Design Studio. All of these areas are timetabled and add considerably to the children’s curriculum experiences.

We have Wi-Fi, Laptops, Desktops and Learn Pads as part of our programme to further develop computing and technology in our school.

Foundation Stage and Years 1 and 2 together make up the Lower School. In each year group there are two parallel classes of thirty children. In the Foundation Stage both classes have a full-time teacher and a learning support assistant. In Years 1 and 2, learning support assistants work alongside the teaching staff to support groups and individuals.

Years 3 to 6 continue as two parallel classes per year group and make up the Upper School. Class sizes may rise to thirty-two in these year groups.

When children reach Year 1 they are placed in one of four Houses - Hanbury, Malala, Bowie or Attenborough - and will remain in this house throughout their time in school.  Our house system is used to reward and encourage positive attitudes towards both learning and behavior and imbibes a sense of belonging.
