My 3 children attended this school. It is housed in the old building that used to be New Bradwell…read moreBoys School, it has been added to over the years and is a combined school which houses a nursery building, primaries and juniors and a sure start section. I found that the teachers that my children had were really good, I found them supportive and most importantly my children got on well with them. My children started in the Nursery, which is a lovely place, with experienced teachers and a fun outlook. Lots of toys, play items and a good outdoor play area which is enclosed. The school gives the kids a good level of education, where a parent, school, child relationship is encouraged. There is an opportunity for the older children to go on school trips including a barge trip, st brevialls (spelling?) castle, Matlock, wales, cornwall amongst others. There is also the annual carnival which starts out with floats which the children decorate which tours around New Bradwell with the silver band, majorettes and others, and ends with the fete on the school field. I liked the local feel of this school and was happy to send my kids there. Recently Mr White has been replaced with a new headteacher Mr Webster.

From the headmistress, to the cleaners, everyone who works there is committed to the children, and you can feel that as soon as you walk in - where the office (and other) staff will remember you and your childs name, along with all the other families there, within a few weeks of starting - not an easy feat with a school of 360+ pupils. The teachers obviously pay attention to the children, picking up on mannerisms/foibles etc, and adapting lessons/processes to meet the needs of all the class. The school has a Good (and improving) OFSTED report, it is the first in the area to receive an Eco-Schools flag, pupils regularly win awards and competitions, and they're working towards being the first Fairtrade accredited school in the area also. There is also a good PTA who arrange varied events throughout the year (and will always welcome new help and ideas).

The school is about to face its biggest challenge when the outstanding head teacher Mrs Hunnings retires - her predecessor has huge shoes to fill.
