Caring Positive Stimulating Welcome Children enjoying a Forest School session in the woods Welcome to Corsham Primary School. Our names are Lindsay Fry and Kerry Parker, and we are the Headteachers at this wonderful school. We believe that Corsham Primary is a very special place where everyone works together to create a safe and happy school, where children can achieve success.
We believe that in order for a school to be successful, it must be happy. We nurture a strong sense of partnership between the school and families, which lies at the heart of the children's happiness and success. Corsham Primary is a fun place to be, and there is always something happening to enhance our exciting and thought-provoking curriculum.
You can view our Virtual Tour here. For those parents and carers who have children due to start school in September 2026, we have a series of tours running at bot sites - we would be delighted to show you around and answer any questions you may have. Please refer to our Admissions Arrangements page for a list of available dates.
