Meysey Hampton Church of England Primary is a small village school situated in the heart of Meysey Hampton village on the Gloucestershire /Wiltshire border. We are surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside and serve the market towns of Fairford and Cirencester, as well as the nearby villages and hamlets. We are a friendly, caring and committed community who are proud of our lovely school and the warm and supportive learning environment we build. We have a well-established reputation as a school that encourages all children to develop as kind and pro-active individuals who aspire to do their best.

The school is arranged into four classes which are predominantly mixed age, with only our Reception pupils arranged as a single age class. We place a strong emphasis on providing high standards in Mathematics and English but we also pride ourselves on providing a broad and rich curriculum offer. Based on the National Curriculum, our curriculum is designed to build on pupils’ prior learning and ensure children are well equipped for their next step. We provide a wide range of additional and extra-curricular activities, which we expect all members of staff to readily contribute to.

As a church school, we value one another and work hard as a team to ensure that our pupils live life in all its fullness. Together, we are building a school that is aspirational, welcoming and enriching in both its vision and practice, and we require all new team members to have this at the heart of all they do.

We work closely with our local cluster schools and all members of our staff are given opportunities to develop their practice through regular training and development meetings. As a small school, we are aware of the importance of working collaboratively, connecting with others in our community and being proactive and forward-looking. We value the experience and ideas that new colleagues and other professionals can bring, and embrace research and innovation to continually better ourselves.
