Courageous Advocates
At Walsham le Willows C of E Primary School, we encourage and support our children to be "courageous advocates". We believe this develops resilience, teamwork, courage and independence and an understanding of the wider world and how they can help make it a better place. We take time to reflect upon and appreciate how fortunate we are to be part of such a nurturing school environment, surrounded by supportive colleagues and staff, which allows us to live life in all its fullness and flourish as individuals. It is important for our children to appreciate their role as part of a community; to take responsibility, to be able to look after themselves and to foster an understanding of their importance, impact and influence in the world.
We aim to inspire courageous advocacy and instil our Christian Values in the whole community. We have a long tradition of supporting a range of charities locally, nationally and globally at Walsham le Willows C of E Primary School with pupils, staff, governors, parents and carers actively coming together to make a difference to other peoples’ lives.
Some of the charities we have supported in recent years include:
- Comic Relief
- Local Food Bank
- Harvest Festival food donations
- Autism Awareness
- Children in Need
- Donations to the Local Residential Care Homes
- Shoe Box Appeal
We are pleased to work with community groups here in Walsham le Willows such as The History Group to gain valuable knowledge about our local heritage and The Wild Wood group who are creating green spaces for the wellbeing of all in the village.
