Cuffley School is a foundation, two-form entry primary and nursery school with approximately 450 pupils on roll. We have a warm and friendly ethos, where every child really does matter. Cultivating care, curiosity and courage is at the heart of what we do as we prepare our children to become independent, lifelong learners.
Our children are eager to come to school and enjoy a wide range of opportunities. Our extensive site includes fifteen classrooms, well-stocked school libraries and resource areas, two large halls, two dining areas and two music pods. Excellent playing fields and playgrounds are adjacent to the school buildings and these are well-used in support of our Forest School ethos.
Technology is well-resourced; we use laptops, Chromebooks and iPads to support and enhance learning. We are a Google school and there is a virtual on-line Google Classroom for every class.
