From the St Lawrence's CofE Primary School
We want to give the kids a challenging, secure, and enjoyable atmosphere so they can reach their greatest potential and be the best version of themselves. We work hard to provide every child with a wide range of diverse experiences and challenges that will foster a love of learning. We promote independence and problem-solving abilities since they will get students ready for the next level of education and beyond. Our two village schools' familial environment allows us to get to know each student well, and we strive to instil in them a sense of community and belonging. We have strong relationships with both village churches, and the vicar frequently visits our schools. We always use resources and the environment to improve learning since we think that academic success and creativity go hand in hand. The curriculum incorporates creativity, which helps the students connect what they are learning to real-world situations. We work together as a cohesive team to give all of our students high-quality first-hand experiences that will help them become motivated, self-reliant, and resourceful learners. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
