Somerford Primary school is an exciting and fun primary school for children aged 4 to 11. We are a community school with a commitment to raising standards and meeting the needs of all our learners.
We have good links with other groups on our site like the Family Hub and Little Explorers, who offer places to 0-5 year olds, as well as links out to secondary schools to which we feed. We are very proud of our school and would very much welcome the opportunity to meet you and share with you our ambitious goals for the future.
