From the Shute Community Primary School
A little rural elementary school called Shute Community Primary School is located at one end of the charming village of Shute.
Two playgrounds, a sizable school field, an organic garden, a wooded area, and an outdoor stage make up the school's remarkable outdoor space.
We now have a team of skilled and experienced full- and part-time teachers and support workers, and we are set up in four mixed-age classes.
The school's classrooms are roomy and well-stocked with materials.
For the purpose of creating a productive learning environment, we are regularly improving our facilities.
The school offers all students access to a bank of laptops, a resource room with a well-stocked library, and a school hall with athletic equipment.
Our mission is to provide every child the best possible start in life by providing exceptional learning and care in a relaxed, welcoming, and exciting atmosphere.
We have very high standards for the development and accomplishment of our students.
Our curriculum is comprehensive, balanced, and stimulating, and we remain committed to each child during their time here in order to help them fulfil their potential.
We firmly believe that a child should be nurtured as a whole so that, by the time they graduate, they have not only excelled intellectually but are also emotionally and socially ready for the difficulties that lie ahead.
We welcome prospective parents who have questions about the school and are always available to speak with current parents about any aspect of their child's education.
