The Crowcombe & Stogumber Federated C of E Primary Schools are located at the base of the stunning Quantock Hills in rural Somerset.
Within a strong Christian ethos, we are motivated by high standards and an ardent love of learning.
As a result, we are able to provide our kids with more chances, a greater variety of activities, and employees with a variety of skills.
Both schools' kindergarteners, first-graders, second-graders, and third-graders (as of 2019) attend Stogumber, and all students in Years 4, 5, and 6 attend Crowcombe, where the facilities have recently been upgraded to support Key Stage 2.
Because of our small class sizes and excellent adult-to-child ratio, students of all abilities can learn to their full potential. *
Due to the kindness and consideration shown by both the children and the staff, it is the best primary school ever.
Every student here is unique in their own way, and we recognise this as part of the excellent learning environment.
We are provided entertaining, engaging ways to learn so that class isn't boring.
Being kind and thinking of others is ingrained in our society.
Since we are a team, we always watch out for the school's younger students.
The teachers push us to be the best version of ourselves while doing it in a constructive manner.
We value this institution as though it were a close friend.
Let's take a moment to reflect on all the positive aspects of our lives.
Let's be grateful for the things we cannot purchase and make sure we can improve the world we share.
