Welcome to Wigton Infant School
At Wigton Infants we are committed to providing an inclusive, holistic education for all of our students. This means that we care equally for the following:
- Each child strives and attains their own personal success,
- Children are given the right opportunities to develop academically, socially and
- Have access to a range of opportunities through the wider and after school enrichment curriculum offer
We have a tradition of high quality and high achievement in many fields. We take pride in the development of a success culture within a well-resourced environment where children can flourish whatever their individual strengths, during the earliest stage of their learning journey. We are committed to a partnership with parents and the local community and we believe that together there is no limit to what we can achieve. We thrive on high aspirations and expectations, for both children and staff.

Dear Parents and Carers Your child is due to start school in September 2023. This means that you will have a very important decision to make about which school you would like your child to attend. At Wigton Infants we are committed to providing an inclusive, holistic education for all of our students. Our school ethos of ‘Learning, Laughter, Love’ is underpinned by six key values: Respect, Curiosity, Resilience, Community, Kindness and Creativity. We take pride in the development of a success culture within a well-resourced environment where children can flourish whatever their individual strengths, during the earliest stage of their learning journey. We are committed to a partnership with parents and the local community and we believe that together there is no limit to what we can achieve. We thrive on high aspirations and expectations, for both children and staff.
