About

Welcome aboard the Sarisbury Challenger We would like to offer you a very warm welcome to Sarisbury Infant School. At our school, we all play an enormous part in ensuring that our children are happy and confident learners.

Staff, governors and parents work together to make the children's learning journey an exciting one, which provides every opportunity for them to be themselves and have high expectations of what they can achieve. Our children benefit from a strong learning environment using the indoor and outdoor school spaces, as well as the local community.

This provides opportunities for them to be themselves and to reach their full potential. We are committed to ensuring that our children feel safe at all times. Their wellbeing is paramount, whether they are in the classroom, taking part in an after-school club or out on one of our educational visits.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development is a priority here at Sarisbury and we nurture the whole child. Our Sarisbury Charter rules are at the heart of everything we do ensuring children and adults alike are respectful and considerate.
