Welcome to The John Wallis Church of England Academy – Primary Phase
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Lower School of The John Wallis Church of England Academy. At the heart of our school is a deep commitment to nurturing every child’s potential - academically, socially, and spiritually - within a caring and inclusive Christian environment.
We believe that every child is unique and capable of achieving great things. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to provide a rich, engaging curriculum that inspires curiosity, fosters resilience, and builds a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Through high expectations and a culture of kindness, we aim to develop confident, compassionate young people who are ready to make a positive difference in our world.
As part of an all-through Academy, our children benefit from a seamless educational journey, strong community links, and a shared ethos rooted in our Christian values. We are proud of our diverse and vibrant school community, where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to flourish.
Whether you are a prospective parent, a current member of our school family, or a visitor, I invite you to explore our website and discover what makes our Lower School such a special place to learn and grow.

Reward and Conduct
Reward and Conduct
Our policy is based on choices and consequences.
We understand that pupils of different ages require different approaches, due to their age and stage. We also recognise that behaviour management can be a complex issue that necessitates good relationships with school and home.
Within our choices and consequences policy, early intervention and prevention remain key strategies, with staff believing that it is the behaviour that requires modification and importantly not the child. In some cases, we will consider an Individual Behaviour Support Plan (IBSP) which will be written by the class teacher and SENCo. Finally, all staff demonstrate the Christian values of LIGHT when interacting with families and pupil rewards are frequently used during the day, with classes working together to achieve key goals. Every day is a new start.
