We are very lucky that Wolfson Hillel is on the site of an old secondary school and therefore we have lots of spaces to enhance our learning.
We have three halls: an assembly hall, a dining hall and a gym.
We also have a purpose-built EYFS space for our nursery and reception children, a library and music room, an art room, an Ivrit room, a well-being room, a sensory room, and a teaching kitchen.
Every year group has an extra classroom that can be used to facilitate our 3 teacher model as well as for interventions and to spread out for small group work.
We have a large main playground with pitches, an exciting climbing frame, an outdoor gym and a multi-use games area. We also have a separate playground for our nursery and reception children which is used all day long for learning!
There is also a private nursery on our site, for children aged from 6 months until they join the Hillel nursery.
At Wolfson Hillel Primary, all the children from Nursery through to Year 6 have opportunities to enjoy physical exercise, whether outside in our well designed playgrounds, or inside, in our purpose built gymnasium. Children of all abilities are able to perform in a range of activities enhancing their physical competence and confidence, whilst building on their skills and physical development.
We take part in Maccabi events and compete against other Jewish Primary schools in sports such as Football and Netball. Each year we represent our school at the Israeli Dance Festival.
We are very proud of our bright and spacious school Library which has a diverse range of books, both Jewish and secular, fiction and non-fiction, for all ages from the Foundation Stage through to Year 6. The Library has a computerised database system and the books are shelved using a colour-coded scheme and the Dewey Decimal Classification system.
Once a week all the classes have a Library lesson during which they have time to borrow books, research topics or read. We have a wide variety of reference books including poetry, history, geography, multicultural, technology, etc.
Our Jewish fiction books are varied and suitable for all age groups. The Jewish non-fiction books are categorised under several headings including Jewish Living, Jewish Year, Jewish History, Tefillah, Torah, Israel, Holocaust and Hebrew Language.
