Even though we can't all be together in school at the moment, we can share news and pictures of the things we have been doing. Please click on the slideshow below to see some of the things our children have been doing during the lockdown.
A busy village school at the heart of a thriving rural community on the edge of the Cotswolds, we welcome children and their families from the villages of Sibford Gower, Burdrop, Sibford Ferris, Epwell, Swalcliffe, Tadmarton and further afield.
There has been a school on our site since 1623. As well as taking full advantage of the opportunities offered by the rich local history, we are an outward looking school focused on developing our children as learners who are well equipped to thrive in our 21st century society.
Determined to maximise the potential of our stunning grounds, we have a strong focus on outdoor learning with three members of staff trained as Forest School leaders, through the Orchard Project, the development of outdoor learning spaces connected with each of our classrooms and the improvement of our big field as a sports venue.
Children learn best when they feel safe and secure, and have a rich variety of learning experiences to stimulate and engage them. We offer a broad, balanced and creative curriculum, with a wide range of enrichment opportunities to both appeal to, and develop, a range of interests, knowledge and skills.

These are some views of the school from our Year 1 and 2 children:
"The school is massive and very old. The Orchard is beautiful. There are approximately 110 amazing children. We are all friends in our school. It is the best school in the world. We have brilliant teachers and amazing teaching assistants.
"We are lucky having an Orchard because other people in the world don't have one. There are kind people in this school. In the Orchard we did lovely drawings. If you come to our school you will make wonderful friends. They are nice and kind. Teachers help us. We have big fields we can play on and have fun on them. We have got a beautiful view in the Orchard. The headteacher seems like she is very kind. We’ve got well behaved children. This school is the best school in the world !"
