At Talavera Infant School we want the best for every child. We believe that however long a child is with us, if it is one term or three years it is important that they make good progress and are equipped for the next part of their education. The staff work hard to make sure children feel that they belong and are part of a caring community.
We have high expectations for our children and believe that every child can be successful. Our curriculum is based around topics which we hope excite and motivate the children to learn and encourage parents to participate in their child's learning. We are very proud of our school and work hard to foster confidence and a love of learning in all our children.
We believe that high quality learning is achieved by providing first hand experiences and opportunities to explore and solve problems through a rich, engaging curriculum.
