Welcome to our small educational family consisting of Norton Sub Hamdon and West Chinnock Church Schools.

As village schools, we are very much at the centre of the communities that we serve. One of our schools’ greatest strengths is our commitment to supporting our families. We truly believe that a safe, happy and supported child is one who will thrive.

Through this partnership we aim to educate our children to the best of our ability using staff expertise and experience to provide a range of opportunities for all children in a caring, thoughtful, Christian school community.

By emphasising traditional values such as self-discipline, hard work, resilience and respect for others whilst also preparing our students for their future lives in an ever changing world that the quality of education our children receive is extremely high. This is reflected in pupils' achievements both in their academic attainment and their general behaviour and conduct.

Above all our family of schools are happy and caring places, which we hope you will wish to be a part of in the future.

At the heart of the village of West Chinnock, the school has 50 pupils. Children are taught in two classes; the Infants (Years R, 1 and 2) and the Juniors (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6). We're committed to high standards of education and an engaging curriculum for all children including taking part in a rich array of extra-curricular opportunities such as sports and music.

The School Day is from 8.55am to 3.20pm.

Vision and Values

‘I have come that they may have life in all its fullness’ (John 10: 10) underpins the foundation of school life and our vision to enable every child to flourish.

We are a family of schools at the heart of our rural communities united by a shared vision to enable every child to learn and thrive in the ever-changing world. We will do this through a well-sequenced and knowledge-rich curriculum underpinned by an understanding of how children learn and their individual needs. Children are at the core of everything we do. We strive to nurture and develop happy, young people with enquiring minds, a spirit of curiosity and creativity, respect for themselves, others and the environment.

Our schools work together as a team in partnership with parents, our local benefice and the local community to prepare confident and responsible individuals who have a rich conception of knowledge and the skills, resilience and adaptability to flourish now and in their futures.

Through our vision and values, we aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which success is celebrated and those of all backgrounds and faiths are welcome. We will tackle discrimination by the positive promotion of equality and the creation of an environment which champions respect for all.
