From the The Claypole Church of England Primary School
We are all really proud of our fantastic Church of England Primary School, which I have the pleasure of introducing to you.
Claypole is a charming, rural village school that is modest, welcoming, and flourishing.
In Key Stage 2 single-aged year groups and Key Stage 1 mixed-age classes, we have small class sizes where students are taught.
Children and adults may both have a good time, work hard, and do our very best at our school.
Our pleasant, caring environment, in our opinion, is what gives Claypole Church of England Primary School its "unique feel."
High standards and an even more enriching experience are provided for our students as our school develops in numerous new ways.
We are all really proud of our model behaviour, dedication to upholding high standards, and dedication to giving the kids in our care the finest chances possible.
We have gifted kids and staff members that prioritise success, peace, and greatness.
In order to present a rich and difficult curriculum, prepare children for future education, and help them develop the skills and excitement necessary to pursue learning for the rest of their lives, staff, assisted by governors, put in a lot of effort.
The school administration can help arrange visits to our school (01636 626 268).
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you are interested in enrolling your child at our school.
