Choosing the right school for your child is a very important decision, and I am confident that Finchampstead School offers an enriching, high-quality education in a caring, welcoming Christian environment where your child will be nurtured and encouraged to achieve high standards in all aspects of their development.
Finchampstead Primary School is a small, friendly village school set in the heart of Finchampstead village. We are committed to providing a caring, supportive environment for our pupils to learn in, and the personal well-being of all of our pupils is at the heart of everything that we do.
We are extremely proud to have been graded as Good for all aspects of our practice from both Ofsted and our Anglican Church Inspection.
