Local Community Links

Overview

Wingate Primary School are committed to developing a strong relationship for children between the local environment and wider communities and develop values that will remain throughout their lives.  It is important that the children understand the importance of their local area and both the help they can give and the opportunities available for them.  Extending this into the wider community will also help develop an understanding of the wider world that they live in and share, leading to a full and productive engagement in their community.
