Welcome to Sutton-on-Trent 

Primary and Nursery School

 

Our school has been at the heart of our village, serving the local community since 1878. We are incredibly proud of the school’s history and the strong relationships we form with our families and the wider local community. We enjoy working closely with our families, recognising the important roles that both home and school play in helping our children reach their full potential. 

 

Our school is a friendly, caring and welcoming environment with an emphasis on nurturing the childrens' physical and mental health and well-being alongside developing ambitious and aspirational learners.

 

We are fortunate to have a highly-skilled, experienced and dedicated team of staff, who provide a stimulating, engaging and creative curriculum. Our aim is for our children to be happy, confident, motivated and independent learners and our staff provide the support and guidance that enables the children to be the best that they can be. This is achieved by maintaining high expectations for all of our children; encouraging them to recognise that they have talents and strengths and to have a positive, 'can do' attitude to new challenges and experiences. Our children grow to be resilient and reflective learners; taking risks in a safe environment, learning from mistakes and identifying areas in which they need to grow. 

 

Wherever possible, enrichment opportunities are incorporated into our curriculum; through visits to places of interest or by welcoming inspirational visitors into school to enhance our learning. We celebrate diversity - embracing difference and individuality  – whilst embedding British values and supporting our children to become valued members of their community.

 

We hope you enjoy exploring our website and find all the information you require. If you would like to visit us then please don’t hesitate to contact the school office, who will be pleased to arrange this for you.

 

We look forward to meeting you.

 

Mrs Jenny Hutchinson
