It is with immense pleasure that I welcome you to the website of St. Andrew's CE Primary School. This is an especially exciting time for us at St. Andrew's as we have recently become part of Pickwick Academy Trust. We are thrilled to part of this supportive family of schools and are looking forward to working closely with the Trust to make our already great school even better!
At St. Andrew's, we believe that every child is special and has their own unique talents. Our dedicated and caring team work hard to create a happy, safe, and stimulating environment where our school values are embedded in our daily life. We want every child to feel confident to learn, explore, and reach their full potential, guided by love, honesty, and respect.
We encourage curiosity, celebrate effort, and foster a love of learning that will stay with our pupils throughout their lives.
