iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Broad Town Primary School is a very small rural school on the outskirts of Royal Wootton Bassett. We are an inclusive school and the development of the whole child is central to our school's Christian ethos of 'a bright future for all' . Staff are very skilled, dedicated and have high expectations of themselves and of the children they work with.
It is important for us to make the children's time at school very special and memorable. We are very proud of our Forest School status which enables children to explore and learn outdoors. It supports the children in developing important life skills such as team work, problem solving and resilience as well as building confidence and self-esteem.
We provide our children with lots of enrichment activities through visitors, workshops and trips. This together with our engaging curriculum, enables us to support children achieving 'Life in all its fullness' . Our website will provide you with lots of information about the school.
If you are considering which school is going to be right for your child and would like to visit our school then please make an appointment with the school office.
