"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Welcome to Ford End Primary School. We are a Church of England School and so our values and vision are important to us. The values are talked about in class and assemblies and the children and staff know them well.
We are working hard in the community and are dedicated to introducing projects that will support our local church and our local environment. Please follow us on Twitter to see our weekly updates. We are also proud to be part of the LIFE Education Trust who strive to build great learning communities which unleash creativity and champion optimism, in a spirit of compassion.
