Our school serves the villages of Padbury, Adstock and Addington, but if you are looking for a caring village school then come and talk to us, wherever you live. At Padbury we believe that everyone of us has a light to shine, whether it is academic, drama or sports orientated, artistic or otherwise. We all strive to be the best that we can be in everything we do.
Our lights are there to be shone and to shine for others within and beyond our school. 'Shine as a light before others so that we can all be the best that we can be.'
