Enstone Primary School is pleased to offer wrap around care from 8:00am - 5:15pm. What do we want for our pupils? Like you, we want the best for them! Our first and enduring priority for all of our children is to make sure they feel happy in school. We want them to be eager to arrive each morning, and to enjoy the many and varied opportunities that each day brings.
Happy learners are successful learners, so we place great importance on childrens social and emotional development at all stages of their learning journey. Being a small school, we are able to nurture our pupils in an environment where we know each of them so well and we can tailor and adapt our curriculum and our teaching approach to suit their different strengths and needs.
Every child is unique, but they are also part of a team - our Enstone Primary School community. Mixed age classes and an ethos that encourages our older pupils to play an important role in supporting and nurturing their younger peers mean that relationships are strong across the school.
