Newburgh Primary School is a thriving school situated on the South West approach to Warwick, Newburgh is within walking distance of the Chase Meadow housing development and a stone’s throw from the racecourse. We are also fortunate to be very close to the historic Warwick Castle.

We strive to create an atmosphere where our children are happy, enjoy their time with us, are well looked after, and consequently make great progress in their learning and development. We encourage resilience amongst our children and so aim to increase their confidence and self-esteem.

Our values – nurture, perform and succeed – are at the heart of everything that we do at Newburgh Primary School, and we are very proud of the wonderful learning environment that we have created for our children.

The school benefits from:
• A refurbished Early Years Foundation Stage area
• A child friendly library full of wonderful books
• A large playing field for sports and physical education
• An outdoor ‘forest school’
• A huge range of after school extra-curricular clubs and activities run by highly-committed teachers and external organisation’s.

We are continually developing links with, and working in partnership with other local schools.
