From the Furzedown Primary School
A two-form entry primary school called Furzedown is located in Tooting, South London. Children attending the school come from a variety of backgrounds, reflecting the community in which it is located. This diversity is praised as one of the school's main strengths. There are two classes in each of the school's eight year groups, which include Nursery through Grade 6. Every year group in Key Stages 1 and 2 has three teachers allocated to them, however in EYFS there is an additional teacher for the entire phase. Teachers and support personnel are dedicated to providing students with a stimulating curriculum that motivates them to study. Furzedown is a welcoming, enjoyable, and exciting learning environment. We make sure that our kids feel loved and safe because we have a great sense of community. Above all, we want our kids to have a range of experiences while they're here, be open to trying new things without being afraid of failing, and grow up to be independent, self-assured, and open-minded. I sincerely hope you enjoy browsing the website and discover what you're looking for. This website is updated frequently, and we hope you find it engaging, informative, and helpful. Everyone contributes to make our atmosphere fascinating and stimulating, where the excitement of learning and triumphs are shared, because we are passionate about always improving it. Over the years, dedicated PTA committees have consistently provided us with outstanding support as we collaborate with them to enhance the facilities both inside and out. Attend the meetings if you can, and provide a hand where you can.
