From the Britannia Primary School and Nursery
A thriving school with 656 students, including a 26-space nursery, is located in the south of Ipswich called Britannia.
We work hard to offer a superb learning atmosphere with diverse educational opportunities.
Our goal is to provide a curriculum that prepares students for life, not just for school, which is why we place a high value on the humanities, sciences, physical and mental health, as well as academic subjects like English and Mathematics, which nurture the whole child and help them become productive members of society.
Britannia is strong in sport and physical education, and we are quite proud of our sporting accomplishments at the local, county, and even national levels in several of our disciplines.
People may connect via music and singing, and we adore any opportunity to sing and play instruments, whether it's for the intrinsic joys of mastering a new piece, to amuse the neighbourhood, or just for fun.
In all subject areas of the curriculum, creativity can be found and cultivated.
Our school community celebrates diversity through the diversity of its cultures because we understand that learning is a social construction in which we learn from and with one another.
At Britannia, you will always be welcomed with open arms, whether you have the chance to study with us, work with us, or just stop by for a visit.
