From the King's Somborne Church of England Primary School
Welcome to the website for King's Somborne Church of England Primary School, we would like to say. Every child is appreciated in our joyful, energetic learning environment, and they are encouraged to do their very best. We put a lot of effort into fostering learning dispositions that will equip our kids with the innovative, inquisitive, dynamic problem-solvers needed to meet the demands of the fast changing 21st century. Our self-assured and highly motivated students succeed academically as a result of this approach. The achievements and caring culture of the school were highly appreciated by Ofsted in October 2017 and the Church Schools' Inspection, which took place in 2012. This made the entire school community happy and proud. We are a village school in the heart of the neighbourhood, but we have a broader perspective. We take great pride in our ecological gardens, which are lovely, serene, and spiritual. Our music department, school band, creative enrichment programme, and numerous sports teams improve the children's experiences. Of course, a visit is the only way to truly appreciate our school's distinction. Please schedule an appointment so that we can tour you around and allow roughly 100 kids tell you all about their school and what they are studying.
