At Arden Forest our vision is to: Enable our whole school community with the skills to be happy, successful and independent life-long learners with healthy mind, bodies and spirit. Children at Arden Forest Infant School benefit from a high quality learning environment.
Our facilities include a large hall, a Reception Unit, Key Stage 1 classrooms and a number of different size intervention spaces for the different year groups. Our outdoor environment includes an extensive area dedicated to our reception classes and a large playground and field to the rear of the school for KS1 children.
We also have a courtyard which is used for outdoor learning. We are delighted and proud of our unique children, supportive parents, inspirational staff and dedicated governors, who all work together to make Arden Forest Infant school an enjoyable and safe place to learn.
The children are at the heart of every decision we make as we aspire that they grow to be happy, confident and caring individuals who can and will contribute to the school and their wider community.
