We believe an education worth having is built on authentic learning experiences, fun and creativity. Learning is designed where students’ curiosity is harnessed, their talents are valued and most of all formed around genuine relationships with
teachers, students and parents.
 
Our staff go above and beyond to make sure parents are informed about their child's learning, they are passionate about your child’s education and wellbeing.

We aspire to help every child develop as a whole person, to love learning and achieve more than they ever thought possible. We acknowledge all students are individuals and celebrate their diverse talents, abilities, beliefs and strengths.

As Parents, choosing a school for your child’s education is the most important decision you will ever make. So choosing the right school is vital. Here at Woolsthorpe Primary School we aim to make this decision making process easy.

The new timeline will apply for children starting Foundation (Prep) in 2025. 

You can find information and resources about the new timeline, including factsheets and the ‘Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Information Pack for Parents/Carers’, at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).

You will be able to apply to enrol your child in Foundation (Prep) 2024 at Woolsthorpe Primary School from 15th April 2024.

This is why we offer four tranistion sessions during Term 4 for your child to become familiar with school and form freindships with their classmates and teachers.
