We are a Church of England primary school who provide all children aged 4-11 with a broad, balanced and creative curriculum where all children are given a chance to shine. We take our core Christian Values from the teachings of the bible and use these to help our pupils flourish. Thank you for showing an interest in our school. Please take the time to browse around our new and improved website.
"I absolutely love this school. After moving my child from their previous school. I can honestly say Stanton has put my faith back into teaching and genuinely caring about its students. It's just like having a second family. Thank you for all you do."
"The teachers. [names omitted] are absolutely outstanding and I believe make the school what it is and perform better than the rest. I’m so grateful for that and I wish I could do more to show how grateful I am and thank them for it. The positive impact on my children’s life is priceless. I hope you’re proud of what you do and know how much it’s appreciated".
"The strong emphasis on wellbeing is a great strength of the school and a huge priority for us as a family. Each child is seen as an individual with different strengths and difficulties without an overall pressure on academics and meeting a certain standard at a certain point. The children are allowed to grow at their own pace and supported as needed."
The school has lovely happy family atmosphere, good enthusiastic teachers, forest schools, PE is taught enthusiastically giving children a positive view of fitness and sport. I like the Christian ethos".
"The school allows my child to be an individual. It is a lovely nurturing school that promotes happiness and confidence."
