We are a 10 class village school set in beautiful grounds. The school has all the advantages of being near the town centre whilst having the grounds that you would expect to see in a village school!
We are part of the Bath and Wells Multi Academy Trust (BWMAT) which is a family of around thirty church schools clustered into three hubs. Our aim is to provide an outstanding education for every child, enhanced by a distinctively Christian ethos. We all work together to be keepers of the Bath and Wells MAT mission statement,'That they may have life, life in all its fullness' John 10:10
At our school we aim to provide the best education we can for each child. We live out our vision statement,
One family, together we shine , which is underpinned by the scripture ' I am the good shepherd ' John 10:11 ensuring all children thrive and achieve their full potential. This inclusive education will develop their academic, artistic and creative, physical and personal skills. We want the children to be confident, able individuals who value themselves and others and are able to make a positive contribution to their community and the wider world.
Everybody involved in the school work together to create an ethos which will give the children the best opportunities. We believe that it is important that this is supported by a close working relationship between home and school. We have an 'open door' policy at Norton Fitzwarren. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's education or life at school please come and talk to us.
We look forward to seeing you really soon and welcoming you into the “Norton Fitzwarren” family!
