Nailsworth C of E Primary School Nympsfield Road, Nailsworth

Gloucestershire GL6 0ET

We have an impressive range of facilities

- a purpose-built gymnasium, large hall

with stage, kitchen, spacious playground,

wildlife garden, parking for parents and

large playing field - meaning that our

children have fantastic opportunities to

take part in all sorts of activities onsite.

These excellent facilities and our

enthusiastic staff and parents mean that

ALL pupils from Year 1 upwards have the

opportunity to join club activities during

lunch times and after the school day.

There is a wide variety of sports clubs,

music and arts clubs and other clubs such

as cookery and gardening. We hope that

there is something to interest every child.

“The range of facilities available was one of

the main reasons we chose Nailsworth

Primary School” Parent of a Year 4 child

We have recently introduced iPads to the

school, to great excitement! Pupils are

using them in Maths (mental maths

challenge), PE (filming each other and

reflecting on gymnastic routines) and ICT

(creating animated films).

Our Library has recently been refurbished

and restocked. The old Library has been

converted into a black theatre room for

all children to develop their Expressive

Arts skills.

We are able to offer parents access to

our onsite Jigsaur childcare service for

breakfast club and after school club.

Nailsworth C of E Primary School in

Gloucestershire is situated at the top of

our bustling little town, Nailsworth,

next to Forest Green Rovers Football

Club! Based in what was originally a

secondary school, we have lots of space

and amazing facilities. PLUS the added

advantage of an onsite pre-school

facility (Phoenix Playmates) and

breakfast / after-school club (Jigsaur).

Our creating a love of learning, life,

and each other ethos provides

encouragement and challenge for all.

We have a growing reputation for

innovative, inspirational and creative

ways of encouraging children to learn

to their highest potential.

Our school environment both nurtures

and encourages children to develop

their talents, allowing them to tackle

their challenges, with careful, targeting

support and direction. We include

children in the running of the school so

that they feel more involved and proud

of the school.

What is important to us? We focus on a different Value

each Term. The chosen values underpin the life of the

school and children are encouraged to use these values

throughout their day to make the most of all the

opportunities open to them.

We are encouraging children to understand their Rights

and be responsible for their actions. The children have

been involved in developing their own Rights and

Responsibilities for their classrooms. We looked at the

United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

and selected Rights are helping us shape life at school.

Along with their Rights, children have discussed their

responsibilities to ensure they play their part in making

their Rights work. We especially like Article 29

Education should develop each child’s personality and

talents to the full - we all agreed, children included,

that the children’s responsibility is to make the most of

every moment in school.

“Nailsworth is at an exciting time in its development as a

church school. It has made good progress in establishing a

more secure Christian ethos based on explicit values.”

Perseverance Hope Forgiveness

Themed Curriculum

We strongly believe in preparing children for life. Pupils who are encouraged to think creatively and independently become:

more interested in discovering things for themselves,

open to new ideas,

keen to work with others to explore ideas,

willing to work beyond lesson time when pursuing an idea or goal.

Our approach is based on themes that

inspire and engage children in their

learning. This focus will ensure that

Literacy and Numeracy are integrated

across the curriculum.

“Pupils enjoy their learning and are keen to

do well. They cooperate well in group and

paired work and support each other in their

learning.” Ofsted Report 2011
