iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Weston Church of England Primary & Nursery School We are a small, oversubscribed school set in the beautiful village of Weston, Hertfordshire. There has been a successful school on this site since the 1850's and we are very proud of our place at the heart of the village.
Currently we have five classes, with children from Nursery age all the way up to Year 6, in three buildings. One of these buildings is the old schoolhouse itself!
The school vision and values, together with our motto of "Learn, Achieve, Enjoy", reflect Weston Primary's ethos of learning through the learning of skills, creativity and fun, utilising a wide range of teaching practices.
We work within a topic based framework because we find that children who are excited about 'A Trip Down the Nile', 'Care of Magical Creatures' or 'It's a Bug's Life' are fully engaged with their learning.
