St Wystan’s is a thriving non-selective school that prides itself on its reputation for producing happy, confident and successful children. Every child is recognised and cherished for their individual strengths and characteristics in an inspiring and warm learning environment. Dedicated staff encourage a love for learning, and warm, respectful relationships are nurtured between the pupils, their peers and the staff. The children enjoy going to school and the staff relish having the opportunity to share learning experiences, adventures and interests.
