Our amazing staff team is second to none at West Rainton Primary School; we are blessed with a hardworking, dedicated and enthusiastic staff team, who do their very best to ensure that the provision on offer is excellent. Our dedication during the Coronavirus pandemic in the UK, is testament to our commitment to the inclusive, fulfilling education on offer at WRPS, both in school, and in a home learning situation. We work tirelessly on a daily basis, to help your child achieve high standards of work and behaviour, as part of our happy school community.
As such a welcoming school, we have the pleasure of many superb volunteers, who are keen to help out in school. During most academic years, we proudly provide the opportunity for teaching students in school, and they love to come back and volunteer when they are finished their placements!
