Somerfords’ Walter Powell School is a small village primary school serving children and families from Little and Great Somerford as well as children from the surrounding towns and villages.  We are located in a rural setting within the heart of Great Somerford.

Since September 2008, Somerfords' Walter Powell Primary School has been federated with Seagry Primary School. The two schools share a Headteacher and Governing Body, whilst retaining their own identities as rural village schools.    

The school provides a stimulating environment in which children are given the opportunity to fully develop their spiritual, intellectual, emotional and social potential. We have a large sports field, shady trees, a newly installed trim trail, a wildlife area and access to our own allotment.  Co-located with us is an excellant independent pre school.

Ours is a school with a family atmosphere, based on a framework of love, security, trust and respect within a community of Christian teaching. The whole school knows each other.  We have small year groups and mixed age classes that allow the teachers to be flexible in learning, teaching to ability rather than age.  The school is fortunate to have enthusiastic and highly motivated staff, who promote the Christian ethos and character of our school which gives the children a love of learning and enquiring minds.  The head teacher Mrs Rowe said, “Our teaching has recently been assessed as good with some outstanding features”.   

Somerfords' Walter Powell Primary School offers a range of popular activities which include: drumming, saxophone and guitar, swimming, netball, football, street surfing, computer club, cookery club, gardening club,   Each year we stage a whole school drama production which involves all the children.

We believe that through inspirational teaching, determination, a lot of love and a lot of laughter, the children in our schools can achieve their greatest potential, regardless of their starting points in life.
