Welcome to Brinkworth Earl Danby's CE Primary School, a warm and faith-centred community located in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. Our school lies in the villages of Brinkworth and Dauntsey, equidistant between Malmesbury and Royal Wootton Bassett, and is easily accessible from Lyneham, Chippenham, and Hullavington.
Brinkworth Earl Danby's is a loving school where every child belongs, is recognised, respected, and fostered to flourish. Children are at the heart of all we do, with their spiritual development central to our vision.
We are committed to working in partnership with all of our families and the wider community, including the Parish of St Michael & All Angels, Brinkworth, and St James the Great, Dauntsey.
Rooted in our core Christian values friendship, trust, thankfulness, perseverance, courage, and respect and inspired by Ephesians 3:17, Roots will grow down into God's love and keep us strong, we nurture resilience, compassion, and a love of learning and personal growth through teaching, worship, and reflection.
