Welcome to St Eanswythe's CE Primary School website. St Eanswythe's Primary is a school where individuals are valued and helped to achieve their personal best. We take a holistic approach to the education of our children and during their time with us, they make excellent academic progress.
But the outcomes we achieve are much more far reaching than this; we also place great emphasis on developing the whole child through focusing on good manners, honesty, showing respect, cooperation and collaboration, taking responsibility for themselves and others, doing the right thing, being kind and generally being good people and good citizens.
We strive to develop each child's talent, skills and creativity. We give our children the best possible experiences in sport, music, art and include a wide range of extracurricular activities.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
