At Wilsthorpe School, we pride ourselves on our use of employability standards. By prioritising students’ punctuality, organisation, uniform and equipment, on-task focus in lessons and their ability to respond positively to challenging situations we enhance students’ development and their impact on wider society. This starts with our ‘Ready to Learn’ checks during tutor time. Our uniform list and equipment list can be found in the family handbook. You will be sent an updated version of the family handbook during the school holidays. School uniform can be purchased from Uniformality and Morley’s.
Over the course of Year 7, your child will have the opportunity to engage in a wealth of opportunities and experiences, both inside and outside of school. These can be found on our Enrichment page and School Calendar, alongside key dates for parents.
During primary school visits, Mrs Meir and Mr Redfern have noted students’ great excitement at being able to try the school dinners at Wilsthorpe. We are proud to be partners with Aspens catering company, who deliver a wide range of nutritious and healthy options that cater for all dietary requirements.
