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 development 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.
