Welcome to Mrs Bland’s Infant and Nursery School.

Our school is a richly diverse and happy school where the children are at the centre of all we do. We believe a good education is so much more than just academic success, it is about inspiring children to grow into responsible young people who are confident and ambitious, who develop a love and thirst for learning and who are well prepared to move onto the next stage of their education in modern Britain.

By creating a caring and supportive environment where each individual is valued and by offering a curriculum which offers creativity and challenge we encourage children to develop any talents or gifts, take a pride in all their work and receive an all-round positive school experience.

In addition to the varied and rich opportunities the children have in the classroom, we offer all children the opportunity to take part in weekly Outdoor Learning, visiting the local woodlands as well as our Forest School at the Garland site.  We also have a specialist sports coach and a specialist music teacher. When combined with our ever-improving facilities, we are well positioned to support every child to develop personally, physically, socially and emotionally. 

We are proud to be a small, friendly school with a big reputation for putting children first and, even more so, we’re proud of our pupils, who can go on to achieve great things.

I hope your son or daughter will join us and we look forward to welcoming you to our school.
