Welcome

Welcome to The Spinney School.

Snow update on School noticeboard .

The Spinney is a very welcoming, caring community and I feel very privileged to be a part of it. The school's mission statement is "Teaching and Learning Together" and this is very much at the heart of what we do.

In recent years the Spinney has achieved a number of prestigious awards including Investors in People, The Health Promoting School’s Award and the ICT Mark (there are only about 5% of these schools nationally). In 2006 the school was assessed by Ofsted as being an "outstanding" school, one of the first in the country. The school was delighted to be assessed as "outstanding" for a second time in January 2009, following a very successful Ofsted inspection at the end of 2008.

Academically the children achieve very highly in English, Maths and Science but we are passionate about promoting all curriculum subjects. At present we offer the children Music and French for one hour per week each. There are a number of clubs which run after school including football, netball and dance club.

There is a strong community feel to the school with a very strong parents association (Friends), a hard working and skilled staff team, and a fully committed Governing Body. The Spinney has a lot to offer our children and we always keep them at the centre of everything we do.
