On behalf of the pupils, parents, and our dedicated team, welcome to Creswell Infant and Nursery School. Our vision is to be the school of choice for our local community, where every child is nurtured, a love of learning is ignited, and each child is encouraged to SHINE.
Our distinctively Christian vision of 'Together with God, we shine in all we do' best defines what it is we strive for . We inspire our children to experience joy and to LOVE (Live Our Values Everyday) in all they do: Love – Kindness – Respect – Perseverance – Curiosity - Thankfulness.
