Welcome to Wistaston Church Lane Academy

Welcome to Wistaston Church Lane Academy, where four words define what makes our school so special: Welcoming, Community, Limitless, Aspirations.

At WCLA, we are passionate about inspiring the learners of today to shape the world of tomorrow. We invite you to explore our website and discover the vibrant life of our school, the incredible achievements of our pupils, and the high-quality education we provide.

Our dedicated staff are committed to delivering excellence, continually challenging our students to make remarkable progress and prepare for a successful future. We believe that happy children learn best, which is why we place great emphasis on creating a curriculum that is both fun and exciting, guided by our core values: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe.

Beyond the classroom, we equally prioritize nurturing the whole child and offer a wide array of enriching extracurricular activities and educational trips across the country, designed to expand our students' horizons and enhance their school experience. Our pastoral care program is a cornerstone of our school, where we work closely with families to ensure every child feels safe, valued, and supported. We are proud to be an inclusive community, meeting the diverse needs of all our pupils. Additionally, we offer extended care through our Swan Stars before and after-school program.

We hope you enjoy exploring our website and discovering what makes our school so special. If you'd like to experience life at WCLA first-hand, please contact the school office to arrange a visit—we would be delighted to show you around.
