We would like to warmly welcome you to the Perton First School Family. Here, everything starts with our wonderful children, and we have designed an environment for them which nurtures their mind, body and soul to develop a happy, healthy and well-rounded citizen of the world – a child who can live and enjoy life to the full.
Our curriculum is the beating heart of our school and our aim is that our children are both "interesting and interested". We want them to be 'interesting' to talk to because they know a great deal about the world and 'interested' in finding out more. Our children have big ambitions and high expectations of themselves.
Our children's voices drive and shape our school , which enables every child to develop academically, emotionally, creatively, socially and physically.
