I am delighted and incredibly proud to welcome you to J H Godwin Primary School. The original building was replaced in 2016 with purpose built accommodation, which provides a great learning environment for our children. We have a large outdoor area, with a forest school area and MUGA.
Our aim at J H Godwin, is to develop each child's abilities and interests to the highest level of personal achievement. We work in close partnership with parents and carers to bring out the very best in each child. Our staff ensures that each child and their family are at the centre of everything we do. We are a school family at the heart of our community.
