Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage at Much Wenlock Primary School

As a small school with a family-friendly atmosphere, we strive to create a home-from-home environment that sparks awe and curiosity from the moment your child steps through our doors.

We are committed to nurturing wonder, resilience, and a lifelong love for learning in an environment where your child can thrive. We take pride in offering an exceptional start for your child as they begin their educational journey in Reception.
