Our School

Our School's Mission Statement

The Staff and Governors of The New Forest Church of England Primary School are committed to providing an education of the highest standard for all pupils to enable them to develop to their full potential

We achieve this by:

	•	Delivering a broad and balanced curriculum
	•	Encouraging excellence through the creation of a welcoming and secure environment where children can grow and develop
	•	Providing attitudes of mutual respect and responsibilty for all who are involved in the life of the school
	•	Developing Spiritual Awareness

We are proud to be a 'Church of England' primary school and we cherish the links with St. Andrew's Church in Landford and St. Peter's Church in Bramshaw. A sympathetic understanding of Christian Values is developed and we welcome children from all faiths.

We respect the position of parents as the first educators of their children. We strive to build effective partnerships between home and school, and between children, parents and teachers.

Our School's Status

The New Forest School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

As a Church of England school, the Salisbury Diocesan Board of Education provides invaluable advice and support for pupils, members of staff and governors.

Being Voluntary Aided allows the governors, as representatives of the local community, to have a greater influence in the direction and leadership of the school.

As a Primary School we educate 'rising fives' to 11-year-old children following the International Primary Curriculum. Children start in the Early Years Foundation Stage, progress through Key Stage 1, completing their primary education in Key Stage 2.
