Watchfield School is a unique school and a unique learning experience. It brings together the strength of its traditions, a rich diverse culture and the vitality of its vision to create an environment that inspires individual achievement. At the heart of everything we do to make our school such a success is the community and the people who work to make this: children, staff, parents and governors.

We believe that, by being a school in which everyone feels secure, knowing that they matter and are cared for, we create the atmosphere where learning is encouraged and developed, thus ensuring our children always strive to do their best and fulfil their potential. Ofted agree:

'Watchfield Primary is a good school. Its pupils achieve well because of good teaching and a carefully planned curriculum. The school's excellent partnership with parents and its close links with the Defence Academy, local schools and other professional agencies are used to very good effect in broadening pupil's horizons'
(Ofsted 2008).
