Our motto is Small School Big Ideas. We are proud of our inclusive family ethos and delighted by the support that we receive from our parents and members of the local community. We aim to support children sympathetically and encourage positive attitudes to learning, school and life.
We believe that the higher the expectations we have of the pupils, the greater their achievement will be. Working closely with parents and community, we want all children to develop their full potential and to acquire knowledge, understanding, and skills in a wide variety of subjects and activities.
We also trust that they will find enjoyment and satisfaction in learning and working with other children and adults. If youd like to visit Tetsworth Primary School please contact us . In September 2009, after a period of consultation, a Federation was formed between John Hampden Primary School & Tetsworth Primary School.
