At Windsor Academy Trust, we believe that pupil happiness is the foundation of success, and this belief has been nationally recognised! We’re delighted to share that four of our schools—Greenways Primary Academy, Manor Way Primary Academy, Milton Primary Academy, and Tenterfields Primary Academy—have been named among the top 10 performing schools in the UK for the Pupil Happiness Award 2023/24.
This award, based on national pupil survey data, celebrates schools that go above and beyond to create environments where children feel valued, supported, and happy. It’s a true reflection of the dedication and care that our WAT family puts into unlocking the academic and personal potential of every child.
Ernest Jenavs, CEO of the award organisers, praised the winning schools, saying:
"These schools are leading the way in prioritising the happiness and holistic development of our youngest learners, shaping the future of education. You should be incredibly proud of this achievement."
This recognition shines a light on the incredible efforts across our Trust to place pupil wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. From nurturing positive relationships to empowering pupils to flourish both academically and personally, these schools are models of excellence.
We’re also excited to collaborate on the upcoming practical guide, "Supporting Pupil Happiness and Belonging," to share our best practices and inspire others to create happy, thriving school environments.
Congratulations to our fantastic schools—this achievement is one we can all celebrate together as part of the WAT family!
