Welcome to Lambourne Primary School. Lambourne Primary School is a one-form entry school based in the village of Abridge, on the outskirts of Epping Forest, adjacent to open countryside. Although the hub of the school is the original Victorian building, there have been many improvements and new facilities added to its spacious site.
Our school aims to create a welcoming environment where children are encouraged to develop their skills, talents and interests through a broad and creative curriculum. It also hosts a small specialist unit for SEMH provision which offers support for Reception and KS1 pupils from across Epping Forest.
The school is outward looking, and sees itself as having strong links with many local organisations, fully reflecting the values of a village community. As one of the founding members of the Epping Forest Schools Partnership Trust, it has been proactive in supporting the Trust with its ethos of cooperation and collaboration.
The school promotes a strong sense of community, citizenship and self-worth, with child and staff well-being at its heart. Lambourne Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
