Learning together, learning for life
Welcome to Nayland Primary School's new website! We are delighted to have you here. At Nayland, we prioritise the welfare of our children and strive to develop their whole selves. We focus on their academic, social, physical, spiritual, and emotional growth, and we place a great deal of emphasis on the supportive relationships between the school, parents, and the child to achieve our goals.
Aims, Values and Ethos
Our aim is for the children of Nayland Primary to be provided with excellent learning experiences which lead to consistently high levels of individual academic and social achievement so that they can develop into people with strong feelings of self-worth. We challenge and extend each child with learning tailored to their abilities. We balance learning content and skills to ensure the development of powerful learners. We teach a broad and balanced curriculum to a high standard with particular emphasis on literacy and numeracy. We promote extra-curricula activities which enhance and enrich pupils' development. We believe parents have an active role in supporting what is learned in school and we encourage parental participation. We provide an environment which is caring, stimulating, and focused on individual development.
Our Classes
Our school is divided into classes from Reception to Year 6. Each class has a dedicated teacher and teaching assistant who work together to provide a supportive and stimulating learning environment. We offer a range of subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art, Design and Technology, Music, Physical Education, and Modern Foreign Languages. We also offer a range of extra-curricular activities such as sports clubs, drama, art, and music.
