We are fortunate in receiving considerable support from parents at all stages of their children’s time here. Many of them work voluntarily in our classrooms in addition to the traditional PTA involvement. We offer a stimulating and challenging curriculum with every opportunity for individuals to excel in all fields and all classes and cater for a broad range of ability. The curriculum is organised via creative projects, which is furthered by a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. These are organised by our own staff, external providers and members of the local community and include our very popular sports teams, school orchestra, choir, drama and other clubs. We also have a successful breakfast club, pre-school and after school club on site.
The school has an excellent staff team with a good range of expertise. They support each other well and comment that Great and Little Shelford CE (A) Primary School is a great place to work. The school has successfully supported a long line of ECTs / NQTs who have started their careers here.
