Lawford C of E Primary School
High quality learning and caring together in an encouraging Christian environment.
Thank you so much for all you do and for making [our daughter's] first weeks at school so enjoyable. She is off to a flying start, settling in well and as parents we really appreciate how approachable everyone is and how great the transition process is and has been managed.'
Letter from a parent of September 23 Reception intake.
"Pupils really enjoy attending Lawford Primary School. There is a strong community ethos between everyone who is part of this school. Reception children have Year 6 ‘buddies’ who look out for them at playtimes; all pupils have a reading buddy. Parents value this community spirit too. They play in mixed-age year groups. There is lots to do at playtimes, such as pogoing, skipping, bouncing on space hoppers and playing football. There are quieter activities such as colouring, and younger pupils also enjoy building towers with the construction kit. Pupils are interested in what they are learning about. They have access to a wide selection of books; they often choose to read non-fiction ones about topics they are studying. They learn to read quickly because of the emphasis that the school puts on early reading and writing. For any pupils at risk of falling behind, there are lots of small group support sessions that help them to catch up. Pupils say there is rarely any bullying, but when it does happen leaders deal with it effectively. Pupils are clear that they feel well looked after. Teachers check on their well-being daily, so any worries are picked up quickly."
