Our outstanding school is situated in the village of Ramsbury, which is a medium sized village on the edge of the Marlborough Downs between Marlborough and Hungerford. We provide education for children between 4 and 11 years of age.

We have a modern school with bright classrooms, well equipped hall, libraries, and Our Great New Space.  We have extremely good provision for IT – each classroom has an interactive whiteboard and we have a class set of laptops and iPads. We are also very proud of our music facilities – we have a school orchestra, two choirs and many opportunities for children to develop their musical abilities.

Outside we have two very colourful playgrounds, class gardens and class vegetable boxes. We also have a level field adjacent to the school, which is ideally suited for athletics and field sports. On the field we have a much loved ‘activity trail’ of climbing equipment and a fort, which have proved very popular indeed with all of the children.

Children are nurtured here with great care and given many opportunities to flourish as they are central to all that we do. We want our children to remember their time with us for the richness of the experiences we provide and for the many personal achievements that we help to make possible. We are proud of our academic record but we are even more proud of our pupils’ personal development. The commitment, dedication and skill of our staff and the bright and lively learning environment that results from this are key to our pupils’ individual success.

We try our best to be the best we can be
