Nythe primary school is a lively and happy school which is valued and well supported by our community. We became and academy on 1st February 2020 and are proud to be part of Excalibur Academies Trust.

As a one form entry primary school with our own nursery, we benefit from the virtues of a small school and are able to focus on the needs of each individual child and family. We offer children aged 2 to 11 the opportunity to play and learn in a caring environment based on mutual respect and the nurturing of a positive self-image. We have high expectations of our children and we are very proud of their achievements. We value the whole child and, as well as their academic skills, seek to develop a strong sense of responsibility for their behaviour and a respect for others.

The Excalibur Academies Trust is a family of schools with a community commitment to educational excellence, that prepares students for success in changing world through the promoting of tolerance, curiosity, independence and respect.

Our ethos and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
