Values and vision 

Waterloo Primary School prides itself on being an eco-school. It aims to empower children to drive change and improve their environmental awareness. Every class in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 has an eco-representative and they meet on a weekly basis. 

Waterloo Primary School aspires to raise achievement through the provision of engaging, challenging and inspiring learning experiences and to pursue excellence in all aspects of school life. Teachers want pupils to be curious, aspirational, respectful, enthusiastic and successful.

Ofsted report 

The headteacher and deputy are leading an unremitting drive to move this school to ‘good’. Staff are on board, morale is high and improvements are evident. There has been significant improvement to governance. Governors know much more about the school’s work and challenge school leaders well about the school’s performance. School leaders’ rigorous checks on teaching and learning and increased staff training have resulted in improvements to the teaching of reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils’ presentation of work is much better.”
