I am delighted that you have chosen to find out more about us and I hope that the school website gives you an insight into our happy, thriving school.

Our children, staff, governors and families work very hard to make Croft School a wonderful place; a place where happy children demonstrate our school ethos of “striving for excellence in all that we do”. A dedicated and committed team of professionals provide an effective learning environment and a stimulating, creative and relevant curriculum. Inspiring all children to be the best they can be and reach their potential is the essence of our school.

We believe that strong home/school links and working in partnership is vital in ensuring that your child achieves to the highest standard in all aspects of school life. We welcome your support and feedback at all times and hope that you will want to be involved and share in your child’s education whilst at Croft.

Visits to the school are not currently possible. However, please take a look at the video on this web page to give you a glimpse of what our school has to offer for you and your child.

A warm hello to all our new entrants and families. We are really looking forward to meeting you all soon. Here's a little information about our Foundation Unit, where you will be coming to play and learn in September.

The F2 Unit at Croft is a busy, bright and exciting place to learn. We have two classes, and sometimes we learn separately and sometimes we all get together. We offer a wide range of playful learning activities, which cover all areas of the curriculum. The children can access this learning both indoors and outdoors.

Every day, we have a whole class phonics session, a maths session, topic time and shared reading. Throughout the school day there is a balance of adult led and also child-initiated activities, where the children can follow their own interests and ideas. We actively foster the Characteristics of Effective Learning in our children, encouraging them to explore, be confident, concentrate, persevere, be self-motivated, and 'have a go'.

Ultimately, we want all the children to settle quickly, feel happy and secure, be kind friends to each other and enjoy learning. We can't wait to get started!
