About

Bussage is a Church of England Aided Primary School, which caters for pupils aged 4 11 years. We deliver a well-researched curriculum with committed staff led by the Headteacher.

As well as gaining language, mathematical, scientific and technological skills, your child will develop in confidence, become more self-reliant, learn decision making and develop the ability to articulate feelings and ideas. Socially, we seek to enable children to build relationships with others, and be sensitive to the feelings and needs of those around them.

We feel that your involvement in the process of your child's education is crucial and we will keep you informed on how your child is progressing. We are very keen to encourage parental involvement at all levels you will be made very welcome if you have any spare time to help in classrooms, or any ideas for improvements.

We all agree that childhood experiences at Primary level are very important. We will do our best to make it as enjoyable and productive as possible for your child during their education here at Bussage School.
