Welcome to Beatrix Potter a thriving school where children flourish and succeed. Our school is renowned for our warm community. Our teaching is exciting and active. There is a wealth of expertise, experience and skill amongst the teaching staff who are known for their dedication and deep care of the children.
Our families are both inclusive and welcoming, developing lasting friendships through their Beatrix Potter connection. Best of all, our children are interested, outward looking, kind, motivated and extremely well behaved. The school has a highly developed learning journey across all areas of the curriculum.
English and Maths are our bedrock to support a wide ranging curriculum that is committed to developing knowledge, skills and passions in all areas. The children benefit from Beatrix Potter's vibrant setting. We enjoy good size classrooms throughout the school and have a large playground area for the children to explore.
We are right next to the Ashcroft Academy fields and are able to make use of them for our sports days, fundraising runs and competitive matches.
