We love being a small village primary school and take advantage of the Wey and Arun Canal which gives us the names of our houses.
We have an amazing team of staff, children, parents and Governors who support our school. This is a truly special school where children and families come first.
There are seven classes in the school, three in our infants: Oak (Reception), Cherry (Y1) and Willow (Y2) and four in our juniors: Rowan (Y3), Sycamore (Y4), Mulberry (Y5) and Chestnut (Y6). We value the role of the Assistant Teachers so there is currently one in each class to support the children's learning. We have a beautiful library stocked with an exciting range of books which the children will visit. They will experience lunch and PE in our hall, which is complete with apparatus for gymnastics.
We make the most of our expansive outside environment which includes our woodlands learning area complete with a secured pond, story circle and fire pit. Alongside all of this, Oak class have their own playground and outside area. Knowing the benefits of outdoor learning, we really value this space.
To ensure our children follow a rich and exciting curriculum, we have created a Loxwood Learner’s List of activities we would like the children to experience during their journey with us (such as visiting the canal, going to the beach, learning a language and going on a train).
