Our Schools
As a very small village school, Stanton Drew has a unique and very special feel. Everyone knows and looks out for each other and it feels like a big extended family. Parents and other family members play a big part in the life of the school and communication and contact between you and the school is frequent and informal. The maximum number of children we could have is 10 per year group, but currently many of the year groups are smaller than this, resulting in smaller class sizes.
Bishop Sutton is a thriving village school, with a strong sense of community. We strive for and achieve academic excellence while providing a safe and stimulating environment for children to enjoy their learning and take part in a wide range of activities across the curriculum and beyond. Children here are encouraged to challenge themselves to take risks, becoming resilient, independent and active learners. Our teaching and learning is creative, enthusiastic, dynamic and inspires a love of learning.
Please visit the Bishop Sutton & Stanton Drew website for more information.
Visits to the school are strongly encouraged, please email the school office to arrange.
