It gives me great pleasure on behalf of all the staff, children, parents and partners to warmly welcome you to Croscombe Church of England Primary School. We are a proud primary school just outside of Shepton Mallet. Our primary school ranges from Reception to Year 6. We are a vibrant and welcoming school, with a fantastic team, who are both nurturing and inspirational.
We are committed to providing the best learning experiences possible with the children placed at the centre of everything we do; children always come first. We aim for the children in our school to be happy, safe, enjoy learning and achieve their full potential.
Everyone, not just the children, see themselves as part of an effective learning community working hard to achieve excellence. Each child at Croscombe is treated as an individual, allowing room for particular talents and skills to flourish, as well as encouraging confidence and success in areas they find challenging to accomplish.
Our children are encouraged to explore and develop all aspects of their characters in order to become confident, independent thinkers, and young people who are prepared for the next stage of their lives by the time they leave us.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
