Welcome to Rode and Norton St Philip First School Federation (RNSF) where we like to do things a little bit differently. Over the last few years we have developed a unique 'Small Schools, Thinking Big' learning experience across our two village schools.
Indeed, we believe we have created the 'best of both worlds' education model; combining the small, nurturing, individualised village school experience, with the rich and varied learning opportunities often only found in larger schools.
With single year group classes in idyllic rural locations we are able to offer children a very special start in life that we believe will help to shape their successes for years to come.
