Water Orton Primary School

One More Step Towards Outstanding

Water Orton Primary is located the county of Warwickshire, on the northern fringe of Birmingham and Solihull. With 330 pupils on role split into mixed age classes, it is larger than most primary schools. The village lies within a small area of greenbelt land, yet is surrounded by some highly deprived areas and some of the busiest motorways in the country; the M6, M6 Toll and M42.

Water Orton has a higher than average percentage of pupils who are disabled or whose special educational needs are supported by school action. The school maintains a reputation for successfully managing children who have found integration challenging, both in mainstream schools and special education. As part of its pastoral care, the school also has two learning mentors, a nurturing group and actively uses the Common Assessment Framework to support children and families.
