Head Teacher's Welcome

Headteacher’s Welcome

Welcome to Wykebeck Primary School, a vibrant and diverse school that sits in the heart of the Gipton community in Leeds. We are proud of our school’s inclusive nature and work hard to ensure all of our children and their families are championed, supported and nurtured so that everyone reaches their full potential.

Our school is a safe place where staff, children and the community grow together. We understand that excellence does not happen by chance and so we work hard to understand the needs of our children and help them on their journey by enriching their worlds and teaching them vital life skills. We do this first and foremost by working hard on our relationships at every level. We understand that no one knows our children better than our Wykebeck families and we are keen to continue to develop our parent school partnerships.

Learning is an adventure and should be fun, engaging and encourage our children to never give up on things they find tricky. Wykebeck is a safe place to make mistakes and we understand that we learn best from our mistakes. We support our children in taking healthy risks and developing their resilience. We know that our children missed a lot of opportunities in recent years due to Covid and our aim is now to fill their lives with rich and exciting experiences.  Our unique knowledge rich curriculum develops our children’s social, emotional and academic skills and provides lots of opportunities to experience new things that build on their ambitions and understanding of the world around them.

Our two-year-old provision is an excellent new provision that is proving enormously popular with local families and we always welcome new parents to come and visit us at Wykebeck.

We have big plans for an exciting future and I look forward to sharing our Wykebeck journey with you.

Miss Watson
