Welcome to Stanton St Quintin Primary School, a small, village primary school, nestled between the market towns of Chippenham and Malmesbury. We are a caring, friendly community where children are supported, enthused and challenged to broaden their interests, maximise their learning and achieve their very best.
Children benefit from an outstanding team of committed and imaginative teachers, spacious buildings and grounds and a huge range of academic, artistic and sporting opportunities. SSQ is such a special school that offers such incredible pastoral support and experienced teachers who understand the whole child .
The Stanton family extends beyond staff and children to parents and siblings, creating a lively and social community, with many events organised by the wonderful Friends of Stanton ( FOSS ). We pride ourselves on open communication, so if you have any questions or comments regarding the website or any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We hope the website conveys something of the essence of SSQ but I warmly invite you to visit us to experience first hand our lively, nurturing atmosphere.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
