Sampford Arundel Primary School is a small village school where each member of our whole community feels like family. Our staff are committed to the development of learning and supporting skills through every aspect of our children's lives. In this small school every child shines for their uniqueness as well as their strength in working together.
Our work in the classrooms is very interactive and makes very good use of the wonderful resources around us. Our parents, who have a key part to play in the school, support us in giving our children a varied and exciting learning experience. We have very supportive parents and governors who play a key role in supporting and developing the school.
Our Friends of Stawley School are very active, this gives all our families access to many fun fundraising activities as well as benefiting our children with their proceeds. I look forward to welcoming you to our school very soon. Sampford Arundel Somerset TA21 9QN Headteacher: Mrs Jacqui Collier Telephone: (01823) 672342
