Newington Church of England Primary School supports our whole village community by providing rich and creative learning opportunities so people may realise the God-Given gifts within them, encouraging kindness, forgiveness and a generous heart.
We instill self-worth and values through love, support and experiential learning so that everyone will be equipped to embrace life in all its fullness. As a welcoming school we firmly believe in working in partnership with our families to ensure all children have a window to the world.
Like Jesus and Nathanael, everyone at Newington CEP will have time to reflect on their experiences and be empowered to step through doors so they flourish in life. No website can fully portray the warmth and excitement that you feel from visiting a school so feel free to contact the school office and come and see what we are all about.
