In order to facilitate a smooth transition for kids moving from nursery to foundation stage, our school and Croyland Nursery co-locate on the same campus.
Visitors to our school have nice things to say about our size and space, our amenities, and the engaging atmosphere.
I'm really happy to be the head teacher at Croyland Primary School.
Since I've been the Deputy Headteacher here for seven years, I'm fully devoted to the Croyland Primary School neighbourhood and work to make sure the school provides for the needs of the local kids and their families.
While it is important to me that your child receives an education that will help them reach their academic potential and confidently move on to the next stage of their education, it is also a part of my vision for all of our children to have positive experiences, to be aware of the limitless possibilities that lie ahead of them, and to be nurtured so that they can grow up with the self-assurance necessary to face whatever comes their way.
All of the aforementioned is supported by my unwavering dedication to ensuring that Croyland Primary School students have the morals necessary to function well in society and are equipped to handle the problems that the current world provides.
My entire staff is committed to this goal and sees children as distinct persons with particular needs and talents.
They put in a lot of effort to offer a stimulating curriculum and a satisfying educational experience.
Our classrooms are hives of activity, brimming with creativity and learning, and they truly make Croyland a wonderful place for kids.
You are more than welcome to come and visit if you would want to learn more about our school.
