Wootton Lower School has officially changed its name to Wootton Primary School, just one month after the school joined Chiltern Learning Trust (CLT).
Marking what educators there say is a “significant milestone in the school’s growth and development,” and a “positive and exciting step for both staff and pupils.”
Wootton Primary School operates across two sites: the Harris Way site, which serves Preschool to year two pupils, and the Bedford Road site, home to children in years three and four.
Work is underway to upgrade the Bedford Road site, with completion scheduled for June 2025.
These improvements will create additional learning spaces for years five and six, allowing current year four pupils to continue their primary education at the school.
This will also increase the school’s capacity from 617 pupils to 840.
Co-headteachers of Wootton Primary School, Emma Maguire and Chris Tavener, said: “The rebranding to Wootton Primary School is a crucial step in our journey. This change not only reflects our growth but also aligns with our vision for the future.
“The past few weeks since joining Chiltern Learning Trust have been incredibly positive, and we’ve already seen the benefits in terms of additional resources, professional development opportunities, and the support we’re receiving from a network of fantastic schools.
“We are thrilled about the exciting future ahead at Wootton Primary School. We look forward to providing even more opportunities for our children, building on our ethos of believe, achieve, thrive.”
Adrian Rogers, CEO of Chiltern Learning Trust, added, “We are delighted with the smooth transition of Wootton Primary School into the Chiltern Learning Trust family.
“…It has been clear that the school is thriving within our Trust… we are committed to supporting Wootton Primary School as it expands… and continues to provide a great education for its growing school community.”
