To broaden horizons and nurture imagination, all children take part in trips and residential visits, including Youlbury, PGL Liddington and the Isle of Wight, alongside visits to farms, museums, libraries and local places of interest.

We value strong partnerships with parents and carers and offer many opportunities for them to engage in school life, including reading events, class assemblies, whole-school celebrations, fundraising events and community gatherings.

Windale is proud to be developing a Cradle to Career programme, working with education, health, employers and the community to embed aspiration and career-related learning from Early Years onwards. This work has led to the creation of The Windale Community Hub, leadership development for pupils (School Council, Eco Council, Junior Librarians, Singing Stars, Hall Helpers, Playground Buddies, Sports Ambassadors, Tidying Team and Mini Medics), community sporting events and a wide range of enrichment opportunities.

We celebrate diversity and community through special events such as Eid celebrations, fairs, concerts and themed days, many of which are planned by our School Council. Children are also inspired by visitors from a range of professions and backgrounds through Aspirations Day and curriculum-linked visits.

A wide range of lunch-time and after-school clubs further support children’s wellbeing, creativity and confidence, ensuring every child can flourish at Windale.
