An intriguing past

Amazingly, King Charles I stayed on the site of Widey Court – where our school now stands – when Plymouth was under siege during the English Civil War. The oak trees on our grounds today are the same ones that King Charles would have seen during his time here back in the 1600s!

Adventure and Learning

We are proud to give Year 4 and Year 5 pupils the fantastic experience of residential trips. Visiting an adventure centre and a working farm, our children love the exciting new experiences these trips bring – and they learn new skills, develop teamwork and confidence along the way.

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.

Parent and New Governor

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!

New Teacher

I have been a part of Widey Court since my very first year of teaching. With Widey being a large school, the opportunities for professional development are fantastic. Everyone is so helpful and supportive!

EYFS Phase Leader

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.

Year 6 Deputy Head Girl

The children are all so lovely and the teachers have been very welcoming. I am in admiration of everything they have to do!
