A very warm welcome to Nawton Community Primary School Nawton Community Primary School has served the local community since . We are a small village school which prides itself on creating a happy, caring, family atmosphere where everyone is encouraged and inspired to achieve their full potential, develop a love of learning and to be a focussed and resilient learner.
Our children lie at the heart of everything we do and every decision within the school is made by considering what is in the best interest of our children. T olerance, kindness and respect to all others.
We recognise that strong self-esteem is essential in enabling our children to lead happy and successful futures and we aim to ensure that our pupils leave us as caring, happy, confident and adaptable young people, equipped with good academic skills, an enthusiasm and a passion to be 'life-long' learners.
Nawton Community Primary School is housed in two spacious buildings, the main school building including the office, dining hall and our EYFS provision and Key Stage 1 and our purpose built Key Stage 2 building. Our children are taught in four mixed aged classes with a maximum of 30 children in each.
