Wrenbury Community Primary School was established in 1876. The splendid Grade II building still exists, although it has been extended over the years. The first extension to the existing building was completed in 1987, which resulted in two new infant classroom bases, a communal work area, an infant cloakroom and indoor toilets for pupils and staff.
The extension was sympathetically designed and has greatly enhanced the building. Much work has been undertaken in the old building to update its appearance and care is taken to create an environment, which is stimulating and attractive. There are five classroom bases.
In addition, we have Little Wrens, our governor-run, 3-4 year old provision in the school building, established in September 2018. The school has a multi-purpose hall, fully equipped with P.E. apparatus and the base for our before and after school provision, The Nest.
The staffroom is positioned on a second floor, with a wonderful view over the school's grounds towards the village and, looking beyond, to the fields that make our school setting so fantastic.
