At Pucklechurch CE VC Primary School, we aim to make learning an adventure and have a strong focus on high academic standards, outdoor learning, inclusion and extra-curricular opportunities.
You only need to walk around our school and spend time with any member of our school team to feel the commitment, passion and interest in learning – which alongside the personal development of each individual means meeting full potential. Our committed team of staff provide excellent pastoral support with all children valued as individuals.
Pupils are encouraged to be active participants in our school community. Everyone's contribution is recognised and appreciated. We strive to work closely with parents, many of whom come into school regularly to help in class.
