I'd like to warmly welcome you to William Cobbett Primary School and hope you enjoy finding out a little more about our friendly community school.

Of course, there's nothing better than visiting a school to really get a feel for it, so I would strongly encourage you to come and see for yourself the warm, caring and hardworking staff and pupils.

Our school is defined by the supportive nature of the families that choose to send their children here, knowing that we strive to achieve the very best for every pupil in our care. Our staff are passionate, patient, kind and skilled in getting the best out of each other and our children. We expect all at William Cobbett Primary School to share in our vision for everyone to 'explore, learn and achieve'. Valuing each individual for their own unique interests and talents and recognising achievement and success, whether in school or out of school, is central to what we do, with our weekly 'Celebration Assemblies' being a highlight of each week.

The extra-curricular programme available to pupils at William Cobbett is a huge strength, with a wide variety of interests catered for. Our children get opportunities to take part in a range of experiences during their time here, including residential visits, sports fixtures and festivals, art clubs, martial arts and even gardening.

I hope to welcome you to William Cobbett and look forward to meeting you.

Mr Andrew Stear
Headteacher

William Cobbett Primary School is a popular school in the north of Farnham, Surrey. We provide an interesting, stimulating and purposeful environment where children feel secure, cared for and valued.

At William Cobbett we aim to ensure every child reaches their full potential and develops an enthusiasm for learning that stays with them throughout their education and lives

There are 4 classes for the infants (ages four to seven). Our YR pupils are all taught together in our Early Years Unit. In KS1, we have one Y1 class and two Y2 classes.  Junior classes (ages seven to eleven) are organised within four single-age year groups and there are three parallel classes in each year group.

Within the school there is a Special Needs Support Centre, specialising in children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.  Some, according to their needs, integrate with the rest of the school for some of their work. These children enrich the life of our school.

William Cobbett Primary School is a popular, over-subscribed school. The success of our recent Ofsted rewards not only the excellence of our provision but our sustained excellence over a long period. This had made us a popular and happy school where we aim to ensure that every child can realise their full potential within a caring and purposeful atmosphere.

The school has a breakfast and after school club, called Allsorts, which provides wrap around care each day.
