Openbare Basisschool Weremere

What Openbare Basisschool Weremere does

Openbare Basisschool Weremere (OBS Weremere) is a public primary school (openbare basisschool) located at Kameelstraat 24 in Wormer, Netherlands, serving children ages 4–12 across groups 1 through 8 under the governance of the OPSPOOR foundation — a Dutch educational stichting managing 37 schools across Purmerend and surrounding municipalities with approximately 750 staff. The school serves local families in Wormer and the broader Wormerland municipality, including students requiring additional support (learning difficulties, dyslexia, behavioral challenges) and highly gifted learners enrolled in the Plusgroep enrichment program. Co-located with Kinderopvang Baloe in the 'De Spil' multifunctional building, the school benefits from a dedicated physical and contractual connection to infant/toddler daycare and before/after-school care, with additional BSO partnerships through Kinderopvang Boefje and Sport BSO Kids Wormer.

The school's educational stack combines structured pedagogical programs: the IPC (International Primary Curriculum) for thematic cross-curricular learning across geography, history, science, technology, ICT, and art; KiVa (a Finnish-origin school-wide anti-bullying and social-emotional learning program with twice-yearly monitoring surveys); EDI (Explicit Direct Instruction) for lesson delivery; Snappet running on Chromebooks for adaptive digital learning in groups 4–8; MijnRapportfolio as a longitudinal digital portfolio and reporting system; and Rots & Water psychophysical resilience training. The school implements a brain-based pedagogical approach and the Hoorns Model scheduling (half-day Wednesdays and Fridays). It is re-certified under the national Gezonde School Vignet (December 2025, three-year validity) with a focus on healthy nutrition, and participates in the Brede School Wormerland municipal network alongside cultural partners Fluxus and Muziekschool Waterland.

Weremere is publicly funded through OPSPOOR under Dutch government education allocations, with no tuition charged to parents. Revenue is supplemented by parental contributions for mid-day supervision (TSO via Kinderopvang Baloe, billed monthly) and per-activity fees for Brede School Wormerland extracurricular programming. Enrollment is managed directly by the school through on-site tours (rondleidingen) followed by submission of enrollment forms; the school is at or near full capacity, with admission stops (aannamestop) declared in groups 1, 2, and 4 for 2025-2026 and in groups 1, 2, 3, and 5 for 2026-2027. Leadership consists of Director Marleen Willemse and Adjunct Director Ilona Kuperus. The entity is privately operated under OPSPOOR with no public listing, stock symbol, or venture capital backing.
