Inspired by God, we aspire to be the best we can be, so that we can live life in all its fullness. " I have come that they may have life to the full." ( John 10:10) Bonners CE Primary School & Nursery is a small, busy and happy Church of England school in the beautiful village of Maresfield.
Our ethos at Bonners is 'To be the best we can be', whilst developing a love of learning in our children, which we hope will last throughout their lives.
We do this by setting the highest standards for teaching and learning, and ensuring that every child is cared for and valued, all alongside promoting a true understanding of how our Christian faith and values are woven through our everyday activities. In April 2015, we Federated with Buxted CE Primary School and together we are known as South Ashdown Schools Federation.
This means we can take advantage of the best practice from two schools to ensure quality learning experiences for every child.
