A peaceful, rural environment for the first years of school.

Its buildings, extensively renovated in 2006 are clean, bright and smart and are further enhanced by attractive displays of children’s work. Children enjoy coming to school and parents will find the school a safe and inspirational environment in which their children may grow and mature as they develop their individual abilities, aptitudes and skills. The experienced staff team quickly get to know the children and their families and work particularly hard at making learning interesting and enjoyable. Pupils are encouraged to become personally involved in their learning experiences through carefully chosen topics and educational visits.

Children come first at Maynards Green School. They make good progress and the standards of academic achievement in English, Maths and Science are consistently higher than those reached by similar schools, both locally and nationally.

Much importance is also attached to wider areas of learning and development in the school’s attempts to offer pupils rich and varied learning opportunities. Pupils enjoy a range of physical activities and have ample opportunity to develop their skills and participate in team games. Through the school’s approach to art, creativity and music, pupils are encouraged to express themselves and develop their creative ideas and abilities. Through its approach to healthy eating and its concern for the environment, pupils are made aware of how life style choices can affect personal health and how individuals can work together to protect and care for the environment.

The school recognises the importance of positive home/school relationships and keeps parents well informed of their children’s progress as well as of the school’s activities and developments.
