"Pupils learn together and respect one another within and beyond the It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our website and to thank you for taking the time to visit us. The school has been serving the community since 1850; we are all immensely proud of our history.
Today, our school has 2 classes; Class 1 is Reception, Year 1 & Year 2; Class 2 is for children in Year 3, 4, 5 & 6. Visit the class pages to find out more. Churcham is a happy, friendly school and I consider it an absolute privilege to be its Headteacher. Our motto is "a family of learners."
This embodies the fantastic relationships between all members of our school family and our belief that, regardless of age, we can all learn from each other. We work closely with our partner school, Ashleworth Church of England Primary. We also have close links with 4 other small primary schools and are members of West Gloucestershire Schools Partnership (WGSP).
We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website. However, this is only an insight into our wonderful school and we would be delighted to meet you and to show you round.
