Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised, which is being used to teach children to learn and love to read

in more than 4,500 schools in England and internationally.  In February 2023 Paxton became the 12^th school to be awarded Champion school status, modelling exemplary practice and to provide information and support for Little Wandle members with the successful implementation of

the programme.

 Our stunning purpose-built new building is situated in the heart of our community and features fantastic indoor and outdoor PE and games spaces, as well as modern music and science classrooms.   Following feedback from pupils, we have transformed our Early Years play space, created reading areas, quiet spaces and an outdoor sensory area. More recently we have just created two new Sensory Zones to provide a safe learning space for children with SEND and those with additional needs. These developments provide the space to ignite the children’s curiosity, capture their imagination and provide all learners with the opportunity to excel.

You can see the building for yourself by viewing our video Explore Paxton Academy! - YouTube.  You are also welcome to arrange a visit by contacting the school office on 020 8683 2308.
