At Spire Nursery and Infant School you will receive a warm welcome from the staff, children, parents and governors. Our ASPIRE values (aspiration, self-esteem, progress, independence, resilience and enterprise) are reflected in a caring, supportive ethos where children are challenged to be the best that they can be.
Our school is based strongly on our community by developing effective relationships with our children and families. We are committed to working together to ensure that every child has the best start to their school life and that they are prepared and ready for the next stage of their education.
The children are at the centre of our school but every member of Spire Nursery and Infant School has an important part to play in ensuring our success. "One pupil described the school as, A family, we are all special. No matter who you are, we are all part of this school. " (Ofsted 2023)
