Being a recent ‘newbie’ to the Widey team was the best decision ever made, as I feel like I have been accepted into a warm, kind and caring family. The environment when you enter the school is something you can’t explain; it’s like magic!

We bring the staff, children and families together at our half termly events to enjoy some great activities. We’d like to think that Widey Court is a community and whether it’s a Halloween Disco, Christmas Fayre, Summer Fayre or an Easter Egg Hunt, we can offer cheap social and family activities whilst raising money for our school with the help of all our amazing volunteers. Widey offers that extra sparkle to any event and the children’s smiley faces are a testament to that!

There are many joys about being a student at Widey Court- the staff, fellow students, the Widey buildings and the surroundings. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and show compassion and care in the work they do. We have an amazing outside space which is used on many occasions. Here at Widey Court, the students show respect and help others.

I feel Widey Court is a very special place and I have had a wonderful time so far and have had so many opportunities here. I love how supportive the teachers and support staff are and they are always so helpful and looking out for us. I feel that Widey Court is a family because everyone is so kind and respectful to one another.

Christmas in my industry is where people are clinging on for dear life, just looking forward to the turkey. Teachers seem to step into the next gear! You and your staff seem to be at every school play, Christmas carol concert and choir event. If the event itself is not out of hours, and most seem to be, then I am sure the endless planning certainly was. As a parent I have loved each event I have been to and they are super uplifting but it is plain to see all the hard work that goes in. Thanks to everyone at Widey, as a parent and as a governor, it is very much appreciated.
