Welcome to Salesbury Church of England Primary School - giving all children a chance to shine! Thank you for taking time to visit the website for Salesbury Church of England Primary School. Salesbury Church of England Primary School is a vibrant school community and is continually moving forward. The school offers a rich and varied curriculum for children in Nursery to Y6.
We have written the curriculum ourselves so we can both ensure we cover the National Curriculum (and a little more) and it truly provides our children what they need and makes the most of our wonderful surroundings.
We re-evaluate our curriculum each year to ensure it is relevant, real and engaging and enables our Christian vision to be lived out as our days are planned for challenge, stillness, energy, reflection, ambition and fun! Our school has a strong Christian ethos which is firmly underpinned by God's word.
We have identified with a particular verse found in the Book of Psalms - Psalm 119 105 which reminds us how we can use the Bible, its teaching and guidance and the example of Jesus to live out our daily lives.
