Mepal & Witcham CofE Primary School

Welcome to Mepal & Witcham CofE Primary School

Welcome to Mepal & Witcham CofE Primary School, where our commitment to CARE drives everything we do, deep rotted in an immersive Christian ethos. As headteacher, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you all .


At Mepal & Witcham, we believe in fostering not just academic excellence, but also personal development. Our mission is to equip every child with the responsibility and ability to care for themselves, others, and the world around them. We aim to foster a sense of responsibility that will empower our students to nurture both current and future generations. 


Our holistic approach ensures that students become scholars while developing into compassionate, responsible, and proactive members of society. We are dedicated to creating a supportive and dynamic learning environment that is fuelled by our positive and supportive community of staff, parents and carers.


As a Church of England Primary School, our ethos and vision are deeply rooted in the philosophy, theology and lived experiences of religion, reflecting the foundational Christian values that shape our community. These principles are our personal development CARE values, such as Community, Appreciation, Respect, and Empathy, which resonate across all faiths and form the bedrock of our school's culture. Through our RE curriculum, children are encouraged not only to learn about religious beliefs and practices but also to critically engage with the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and morality. By fostering an understanding of philosophy, theology and lived experiences, we help pupils explore both Christian teachings and the universal values shared by many world religions, equipping them to reflect on their own beliefs and actions in a way that contributes positively to society. This approach ensures that our school's Christian identity is inclusive, promoting a sense of belonging, respect, and understanding for all.


We know that with the knowledge and life skills we equip our pupils with, they will blossom into positive agents of change our future can depend on. We want the world to listen to the wonderful minds of our pupils, and to achieve that, we devote our passion and energy to ensuring our children embody all eight values of CARE. 


They will care what our children have to say because they will know that they CARE!


Should you be interested in sending your child to our wonderful school, please see Admissions for more information or contact the school office for a tour and more information.

Warm regards,


Mr C Snuggs
