Horton School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided School. It was built in 1859 by the Church of England.

The school has been modernised three times, once with the addition of a new classroom in 1981, then in 1998 to provide a library, an office for the head and the secretary, a staff room and a staff resources room, and more recently, updating toilets and entrance area.

The school boasts a high teacher/child ratio in 3 classrooms. There is a separate library and a learning area for quiet or group working. Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard, a bank of wireless laptops and tablets. The school has a small playground where netball matches take place, an adventure playground, a quiet area, a conservation area, an amphitheatre used as an outside classroom, and picturesque surroundings. It has the use of the village hall for sports and other activities.

 

We are fortunate in having a primary school with 11 classes and a nursery class that takes children from the age of 3; all located in wonderful, spacious grounds in the popular market town of Chipping Sodbury. Our school achieves high academic results and yet we pride ourselves on focusing upon the whole child, recognising the need for creativity; children to consider themselves learners and members of the whole society.

St John’s Mead is a vibrant learning community where all our members strive to make the school the best that it can be. We have strong links with the local church and our dedicated PTA ensures events throughout the year provide opportunities to enjoy each others’ company and raise additional funds for the school. We also take safe guarding children extremely seriously and precautions are in place to ensure that our children are safe ranging from the physical environment to stringent recruitment procedures.
