I would like to wish you a very warm welcome to our wonderful school, Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School. I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher at Abbotts Ann CE Primary School and look forward to creating exciting, joyful and memorable learning experiences for your children.
We are incredibly lucky to have a unique and inspiring learning environment amidst beautiful school grounds here at Abbotts Ann. The school community works incredibly hard to future proof the sustainability of our school and offers extra-curricular pupil leadership opportunities through our School Council, House Captains and Eco Club.
Our purpose-built outdoor spaces blend seamlessly with our vast school grounds and rural surroundings, offering a wealth of opportunities for outdoor and creative learning. Our curriculum has been designed to take full advantage of our learning spaces.
It aims to capture the children's interest in a wide range of curriculum areas and equip them with the skills they need for later life. My aim in the coming years is to work with the children to develop our forest area to enable full participation in a bespoke Forest School Curriculum.
