Welcome to William Stockton Primary School Federated with Wimboldsley Primary School

School remains open while Cheshire West is in Tier Two

After the second COVID-19 national lockdown and moving into tier two, schools, colleges, universities and early year settings across west Cheshire will remain open for children and students to continue their studies.

Education settings across the borough have worked incredibly hard to create a safe environment for students since reopening to all year groups at the beginning of September with robust infection prevention and control measures in place. Cheshire West and Chester Council will continue to provide advice and support for them to remain open as the second lockdown starts.

“Schools have also received training in how to undertake contact tracing to ensure any close contacts are identified and advised to self-isolate as well. These measures are working well and are preventing large scale outbreaks across our schools, colleges and university.”

As we’ve moved into tier two after full national lockdown, the following additional measures have been introduced in the borough’s schools to help reduce the spread of the virus:

All adults to wear a face covering when visiting or entering the school/early years premises including outdoor yard areas.
Parents/carers to arrive and leave promptly when dropping off/collecting their child.
In schools/early year settings where it has been agreed that a parent/carer can enter the school premises for drop-off and pick-up, only one adult should enter.
All staff to wear face coverings when they come out of the building onto the playground during drop-off and pick-up times.
Young people to avoid congregating outside school and mixing with other schools and should go directly home.

At William Stockton Primary School our motto is “Achieve Excellence” and we are committed to providing a welcoming, calm and stimulating environment in which we can nurture the achievements of every child. We provide a broad and balanced education, where children are encouraged to explore, discover and question through a range of exciting learning opportunities both within and outside the classroom. We recognise and celebrate the talents of each child, enabling them to grow in confidence and achieve both their educational and personal goals.
