Grendon C.E. Primary School

Head teacher: John Wayland

The school website sets out the school's vision:

"Grendon CE Primary School takes an innovative approach to curriculum design, we personalise learning and foster an environment that helps children to develop personally, socially and spiritually supported by a strong Christian ethos. Our vision is for all pupils to become independent learners, responsible individuals and global citizens."

Grendon pupils learning for themselves what is was like to go to school in Victorian times

The school has its own website. For information on term times, contact details, OFSTED report and much more, please go there.

Ofsted stated that ‘pupils achieve well’ and their personal development is ‘outstanding’. The Anglican Schools Inspection in April recognised that ‘all pupils feel valued and special and enjoy their learning experiences’. An HMI detailed inspection of English recognised the good standards achieved in reading and writing through high-quality teaching, a creative curriculum and effective leadership.

If you would like to come along and see this consistently high-performing school in action, please ring 01933 663208 or email mailto:head@grendon.northants-ecl.gov.uk to make an appointment. New entrants for September 2011 will be most welcome.
