Calcot Schools is a large school, with a small school feel, consisting of a Nursery, Infant and Junior School. We are thriving, meeting the needs of a diverse catchment area. Our families are incredibly supportive of all that we do here and they help us to ensure that our learning environment and pastoral care is excellent, enabling our children to be the best they can be!
Providing outstanding education for all is of course our key aim. We strongly believe that all children deserve an exciting, broad curriculum and an atmosphere that is nurturing and fully inclusive in order that they may thrive. We make great use of our vast site, forest school area, playing fields and heated pool with lots of outdoor learning and sporting opportunities. In addition, specialist music teachers provide all children from Year one through to Year six with music lessons. These include a rock project in Year four, djembe drumming in the infants, Samba lessons in year three and steel panning in Years five and six. We are very proud to have our own steel pan orchestra and choir that frequently perform in school and at competition venues in the local area.
