A Message from
our Head Teacher
On behalf of the staff, children and governors we would like to welcome you to Windy Nook primary School and our website.

The whole school community works hard, shows respect, courtesy and good manners and enjoys being together.’ Please visit the Ofsted section of our website for more information.
