SpetisburyCofE Primary School
Welcome to Spetisbury Church of England Primary School
"They are like trees that grow beside a stream,
that bear fruit at the right time
and whose leaves do not dry up,
they succeed in everything they do.”
— Psalm 1:3
It is a genuine privilege to welcome you to Spetisbury; a school shaped by kindness, ambition and a deep belief in what every child can achieve.
We are proud to be a small school where every child is truly known. Relationships sit at the heart of our community, creating what inspectors described as “an atmosphere of calmness and warmth.” It is within this environment that children feel safe to try, to persevere and ultimately to flourish.
At Spetisbury, we hold high expectations for all pupils because we believe that every child is capable of success. Yet we also understand that children grow at different rates. Some race ahead; others take more time. Both journeys are valued here. Our role is to notice the difference, provide the right support and ensure that every child moves forward with confidence.
Guided by our Christian vision, we encourage pupils to be deeply rooted; secure in who they are, respectful of others and ready to embrace the opportunities ahead. Alongside strong academic foundations, we nurture character, resilience and compassion so that children leave us not only well educated, but well prepared for life.
Our curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity and sustain a lifelong love of learning, while our pastoral care ensures that children feel understood and supported each day. This balance of challenge and care allows pupils to thrive both personally and academically.
Set within beautiful surroundings and enriched by our close partnership with the adjoining church and nursery, Spetisbury offers a nurturing village-school feel alongside the ambition and opportunities every child deserves. Through our Treehouse provision and extended care, we are proud to support busy families while maintaining the strong sense of belonging that defines our school.
What makes Spetisbury truly special, however, is our community. Staff, families and governors share a commitment to helping children grow into confident, thoughtful young people who contribute positively to the world around them.
If you are considering our school, I warmly encourage you to visit. The best way to understand a place is to experience it; to see the learning in action, hear the laughter in the playground and feel the welcome that awaits you.
We would be delighted to meet you and your family.
With kindest regards,
Mr Andrew Brown
Headteacher
