Description
Wheatfields Infants' and Nursery School is an academy and is part of the Ambition Education Trust.
At Wheatfields, we believe that it is important for our children to develop a love of learning through an exciting skills based curriculum, and a clear understanding of how they can learn independently. We are passionate about the use of our outside environment to support learning both within Foundation and KS1.We value everyone as an individual and are a sustainable school. As such we encourage our children to care for themselves, care for each other and care for their community. Our staff are encouraged to develop their skills within a supportive team approach to enhance their career progression.
During our last Ofsted inspection we were found to be an outstanding school. Wheatfields is a three form entry Infant and Nursery School. Classes including the Nursery are led by teachers and a team of learning assistants or EYFS Practitioners.
Wheatfields is proud to be part of The Ambition Education Trust (AET) which consists of ten schools in Hertfordshire; three primary, one nursery and infants’, one juniors and five secondary. Our Trust launched in September 2024 following the amalgamation of two established Multi Academy Trusts (MATs), Alban Academies Trust and Atlas Multi Academy Trust. Our aim is to build on our proven track records of maintaining exceptional standards and driving continuous school improvement.
Providing ‘educational excellence for all’ and making superb learning opportunities available to all the children and young people in our schools, requires exceptional teachers and support staff.
