At Preshute Primary School, we offer the very best in primary education in a safe and stimulating environment through a well-balanced and creative curriculum, which is tailored to the needs of every child. We are a village school at the heart of the Preshute community.
Christian principles underpin all that we do at Preshute, drawing on our valuable relationship with St George's Church community. Our passionate staff create an environment that is forward-thinking and are quick to implement new strategies that can benefit the children.
We are driven to help children develop emotionally and spiritually; to be good citizens of the future - fair, kind and resilient, to have a thirst for knowledge and to embrace challenges. Our children, their parents and Governors work together to support the ethos of our school and are proud of each other and our achievements.
