"Look at what we have here in this wonderful school." A former Secretary of State for Education said this of our school when he visited us in the summer of 2022 to help bury a time capsule. We are quite rightly proud of this unique and very special school. Nestled in the foothills of The Cotswolds, Ilmington Church of England Primary School is a wonderful place to learn.
Our dedicated staff and governing body are committed to ensuring that every child at our school has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. We strive to live and learn through our Christian Values of Service, Thankfulness, Compassion, Friendship, Peace, Hope, Fellowship and Reconciliation with love and respect at the heart of everything we do.
Our school Bible verse is, "For with God, nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1 v37) and we make every effort to ensure that our school ethos reflects this.
