About Sythwood Primary School

At Sythwood Primary School we want our children to grow up and learn in a happy, orderly and safe environment where there are high expectations of both staff and children. Our Vision Statement is Great Learning, Great Challenge, Great Fun!
We believe that education is most effective when home and school work closely together so we arrange many occasions when parents and school staff can collaborate to help enhance the children's learning.
We work hard to make Sythwood an exciting and attractive school because children enjoy learning in a stimulating environment. Many visitors comment on our welcoming and colourful school. Each school year we have a variety of themed weeks which include "History Week" and "Science Week". These are in addition to regular days where we invite visiting performers, artists and experts into school to share their skills and knowledge with the children. Use of the International Primary Curriculum is an integral part of school life and all children from Nursery to Year 6 take part in extra activities connected to their class topics. Our recently refurbished all-weather floodlit games area is a great asset used by both our children and the local community.
