In Key Stage 1, we use Letters & Sounds phonics, and the Reading Recovery book bands to support children learning to read.

We are a friendly, thriving school in the heart of Girton’s village community. Our enthusiastic team of staff are focused on creating an interesting, stimulating and supportive learning environment, where each pupil can enjoy their education, develop and flourish.

We aim to promote a lifelong love of learning, through the provision of a varied curriculum. We take a project-based approach, which enables the children to make real connections between the different curriculum areas. We further enrich the pupil's learning journeys with class trips, sporting and musical events, after-school clubs, and whole-school activities.

We are dedicated to ensuring our pupils attain the very best of which they are capable and fulfil their potential. We hope that our website showcases the many elements that make up our school and answers many of your questions. If you would like to know more about us, please arrange a visit. We would be delighted to show you around so you can get a feel for the enthusiasm of our staff and our friendly learning environment.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
