As you are aware, the pandemic of 2020 showed many inconveniences and difficulties for schools and families to deal with. Currently we are able to support physical visits to school. The office will be happy to book you in for a tour around the school, showing you our provision from Nursery to Year 6.
The staff will be able to answer any questions, or refer you to the right person who can. We may ask you to come outside our peak hours - 8:30-9:30 and 2:45-3:45 as these are the busiest times for the school. We look forward to meeting you and your child/children.
St Peter & St Paul Carbrooke Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery is a special place full of learning, laughter and friendship. A place where all children are happy, feel safe and valued.
