Headteachers' Welcome
A very warm welcome to Bramley Church of England (VA) Infant and Nursery School Website.
As a small church school our school vision "Rooted in Christian Values, Seek within, Wonder why, Reach out, Aim High" helps us recognise our Christian distinctiveness and permeates throughout all we do.
I am very proud and privileged to be the Head Teacher of this wonderful Infant and Nursery school. Village children and those from the surrounding area have been attending Bramley Infant School for over 150 years and we continue to foster a joy of learning which will last for a lifetime.
Bramley Church of England (VA) Infant and Nursery is a successful and popular school where everyone works hard to ensure that the children are safe, secure and part of a friendly and caring community. We want the children to be happy and excited about coming to school to learn and to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding across a wide and exciting curriculum. The vision and values of our school are embedded across our curriculum and they ensure we are able to inspire and challenge all the children.
Children can begin with us as soon as they turn two by joining our nursery. Children can attend the Nursery two morning sessions or up to five full days, the term after they turn 3 they can join our Pre-School and will be offered either a 15 or 30 hours funded place. Additional self-funded hours can also be booked. The Nursery and Pre-School are housed in the main building but are a separate department with their own age appropriate facilities and playground.
We have a strong, experienced and dedicated team who are passionate about working with children in order to help them achieve their best.
Our school is very much a family school and we are supported and championed by the wider community. The parents are an integral part of the school; we know that children achieve their best when school and families work effectively together.
The parents support us in many different ways including running the school PTFA, which enables us to buy extras for the school.
As a Church School we have strong links with Holy Trinity Church and hold service events at the church. Further information about the church can be found at:

We look forward to meeting you.
