On behalf of the staff, governors, and children, welcome to our school website.

Here you will find everything you need, whether you have children at the school already, whether you are a pupil or maybe you are considering joining us at St Greg’s.

St Gregory's is a small school with big ideas and an even bigger heart.  Such is the size of our school,  staff are very familiar with all of the children, not just those that they teach day to day! This brings a real family feel to the whole school.  Each and every child knows each member of staff.  Everyone at school helps each child to reach their full potential via our strap line of "Where Learning Has No Limits!"

Our teacher/pupil ratio is high, so children receive more one-to-one teaching time and a highly-personalised learning experience.  We have 3 mixed age classes.  Mixed age classes mean children are encouraged to care for and support each other – a skill which they learn for life. Having different year groups learning and playing together creates a wonderfully positive environment for all.

Our staff team is passionate, experienced and highly committed to providing the very best for our children.   We have a really experienced staff team and the staff pride themselves on knowing all the children.

St Greg’s is situated in a lovely rural setting, we have a large playing field, complete with a football pitch, outdoor classroom, forest school area, pond, quiet garden, wooden pirate ship and trim trail play area to keep the children entertained.  Our biggest features have to be the running track running around the outskirts of our field allowing our children to take part in the daily mile each day, and of course our outdoor heated swimming pool.  The pool is a huge asset, it enables us to get the youngest children learning to swim and our end of year Gala is always great fun.

Each of our classrooms have a vast array of facilities including electronic whiteboards, reflection areas and book corners.  We have a wonderful library that allows some quiet space for our children to read or come and choose a book to share at home.  We also have our dedicated nurture space known as the "Willow Room".  This space has a cosy area for quiet time, a reflection areas and a work space for our nurture group activities as well as a beautifully painted mural on the wall. 

We are proud to be a church school, our links to St Gregory's Church are strong, we attend regular services at the church which is situated just next door, as well as visiting once a week for a special values assembly.

Staff and children endeavour to live our lives underpinned by our three core Christian values of Faith, Love and Hope, staying happy and respectful to our whole community.

We welcome visitors to school and would be delighted to show you around. You will find St Greg’s is a place of fun, laughter and of course learning.  We want all our children to achieve, to be the absolute best they can be. We set about this by recognising that each child is uniquely different – each possessing different skills and abilities.

Nurturing these talents is our mission, together we achieve great things.  St Gregory's is a Small School with Big Ideas!
