From the St Ives Infant School
As your child begins school, I hope this website will give you a helpful overview of the institution and provide the answers to the questions you may have. As an infant school our prime responsibility is to ensure that the children's early educational experiences are positive and that they develop the skills and attitudes upon which the rest of their education will be built. We want the kids to be enthusiastic about their surroundings and ready to learn as they "set sail." We do not know where their individual journeys will take them, or what their world will be like, but we will do all that we can to ensure that they are well prepared. The school offers a 52-seat nursery and six courses. We also have a communal room called the Jubilee Room, which is used by a variety of groups, as well as a music room, library, and other spaces. We have an amazing view of St Ives Bay and the town from the school grounds. The kids play in appealing outdoor spaces all during the school day. Children transfer to our partner junior school, which is located on the same campus, in the September after their seventh birthday. Please get in touch with the school if you have any questions or would want to schedule a visit.
