Frampton Cotterell CofE Primary is an extremely popular, caring and inclusive school, which has Christian values at the heart of everything it does. We recognise and celebrate the uniqueness of every child and we help everyone to become the best they can.
The school has strong links with St Peter's Church and is proud to have been rated as Outstanding during the last SIAMs inspection. It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the Headteacher of Frampton Cotterell Church of England Primary School. I feel extremely honoured and privileged to have been chosen to lead the school on the next stage of its journey.
The ethos at Frampton Cotterell CofE mirrors my own beliefs and values. I am passionate about providing a nurturing environment that enables children to grow academically, as well as socially, emotionally and spiritually.
I believe children should have a rich learning experience that develops their curiosity, encourages their creativity and empowers them to follow their goals and dreams, so that they leave primary school equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to make a positive contribution at secondary school and beyond.
