WELCOME TO YOUR SCHOOL
Northleach
C of E Primary school is situated in the historic Cotswold wool town of
Northleach. The school enjoys a large, open site with the Church of St.
Peter and St. Paul forming an impressive backdrop to our spacious
playground.
Within our school grounds we accommodate a variety of
buildings. The main Cotswold stone building dates back to 1868, when the
school was established by the Church of England. Within this building you
will find the hall, office, staff room and four new classrooms where the
younger children are based. The adjoining school house has been adapted to
serve as accommodation for the playgroup.
On the south side of the school can be found the larger
Elliot classrooms, these currently accommodate the older children. Also situated
in this part of the school grounds is the heated outdoor swimming pool,
which is used by the school during the summer months. The children also
enjoy full use of King George V playing field, which is adjacent to the
school.
As a voluntary controlled school we continue to
maintain close links with the church. The vicar visits weekly to take
school assembly and at least once a term the children prepare and lead an
assembly held in the church.
MISSION STATEMENT
Northleach Church of England Primary School is a caring, Christian
school, where all feel happy and secure, are valued equally and are able
to develop to their full potential.
AIMS OF THE SCHOOL
We aim to foster the all round development of every
child. The promotion of a caring and co-operative attitude is a priority,
enabling all to feel confident in themselves, the school and the
community; bearing in mind our unique environment of countryside, church
and active rural community. We aim to provide a stimulating, challenging
environment to initiate, extend and consolidate learning in order to
achieve the highest possible academic standards. We aim to provide a wide
range of learning experiences that ensure both breadth and depth of the
curriculum and which are structured to meet the individual’s needs. We aim
to give children the opportunity to develop a sense of awe, wonder and
curiosity for the world in which they live, also developing an
understanding and appreciation of the world, its needs and concerns.
