About

Welcome to Ivington Church of England Primary and Pre-school and thank you for your interest in our school! We pride ourselves on the quality of the relationships between children, parents and staff. It is these positive relationships that help to nurture the children as they develop as learners.

Situated two miles from the market town of Leominster, opposite the Church of St John, our school is part of a rich rural environment overlooking orchards and meadows. Our buildings are a mixture of original Victorian and modern extensions and are part of the village of Ivington with which we are proud to have close links.

The school has up to 120 children on roll, aged 4 to 11, from the village, its surroundings and the town of Leominster. As a small church school, we pride ourselves on our family atmosphere and strong home/school links. We give children and their families a wonderful start in life.

We are a happy school and successfully create an environment where education becomes a lifelong adventure, where children are valued as individuals and their every success is celebrated and where we strongly adhere to inclusive Christian Values.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
