Our School

'Be Ready, Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Your Best!'

Welcome and thank you for visiting Sythwood Primary and Nursery School’s website. I hope that you find the information both useful and informative.  If you have any questions or would like to find out more about us please contact us to arrange this.

At Sythwood Primary and Nursery School we are dedicated to our school motto of 'Be Ready, Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Your Best' so that every child and adult in our school can aspire and thrive to become their personal best in a supportive and stimulating environment.   We aim for each child to achieve more than they ever thought was possible.  As shown from our KS2 results continuing to be above national average, we have high expectations of all children and provide them with the challenge, opportunities and support for them to flourish.  We strive to provide children with relevant, purposeful learning opportunities and provide them with new, exciting experiences.

We have a strong, dedicated team, who are passionate about working with children so that they can achieve their very best.  We have a driven senior leadership team, who you will meet daily at the school gates, and who lead the school in an ambitious direction.  We have team leaders across the school who ensure consistency and high expectations across their team.  Every teacher, Learning Support Assistant and member of the admin and premises team, act as role models in order for children to achieve the highest standards. 

Alongside our dedicated staff, are our community of parents and carers who come from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds.  We strive to work closely with parents as we know it is when school and home work together, their children achieve their very best.  We hold many events and sessions throughout the year where parents are invited into school.  Keep a look out on the calendar and newsletter for these events.

We are fortunate at Sythwood to be based on a large area of land with truly excellent facilities.  Each phase is in a separate building with a communal assembly and dining hall.  We have a diverse Copse, where children learn forest skills; an outdoor gym; games area and much more.
