Welcome

Welcome to Catherine Wayte Primary School. A school that is proud to be part of The Blue Kite Academy Trust.

 

Catherine Wayte Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

 

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection Policy which can be viewed in the Key Information section of our website.

 

Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child's welfare.

 

We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism. 

 

Our Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Emma Brown (Head Teacher). Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads are Miss Maia Hill (Deputy Head Teacher), Mrs Lisa Hawkins (SENDCO) and Mr Kevin Shammas (SLT and Upper KS2 lead).

 

Paper copies of information can be made available on request.  Please contact the school office should you require information as a paper copy or in a different format.

We are a popular and successful school located in North Swindon.  Ofsted recognised that we are a good school; the most recent Ofsted report can be found in the 'Key Information' section of this website.

 

We currently have vacancies in some year groups. New families who are interested in sending their children to Catherine Wayte are welcome to arrange to visit us and have a tour of the school. Swindon Borough Council's School Admissions team are responsible for allocating places at our school.
