iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Crudwell Church of England Primary School is a friendly, vibrant and exciting place for young people to learn and flourish. With the school's Christian vision 'Roots to Grow and Wings to Fly' we nurture all our pupils' unique strengths, talents and interests, helping them to develop in character and confidence.
We aim for everyone to aspire to be the best possible versions of themselves so that they may realise their full potential; both in their learning and in their behaviour. Our children are happy, creative and respectful in their interactions with others, and they have high expectations of their own behaviour. We value great teamwork, trust and perseverance.
We have developed an exciting and engaging curriculum with high quality children's books to promote a love of reading. We have spacious school grounds with a Forest School, an abundance of sporting opportunities and clubs, and tuition available in music, speech and drama.
Situated in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, between Malmesbury, Tetbury and Kemble, our school is the heart of the community we serve. We have a range of exciting before- and after-school clubs and childcare options to support our families with wrap-around care as well.
