Short profile:
Chilton Foliat Primary school is nestled into a thriving village community on the borders of Wiltshire and West Berkshire.
The original village school was started in 1770 by Roger Spanswick and his wife Elizabeth for 16 poor children of the parish. The National school in Chilton Foliat was opened in 1835 on the north side of the High Street, and a new building for it was erected in 1847. The number on roll by 1871 was 87. In 1970 our present school was built in Stag Hill and the old one closed. The number on roll continues to rise with 96 pupils enrolled in January 2011.
Parents are a vital part of our school team. Their varied expertise is readily accepted by the teaching staff to help with reading, art and craft activities, sewing or anything else that the school feels will enrich the children’s learning.
Detailed description:
Our school governors and staff strive to provide our children with a curriculum rich with the varied skills they will need to equip themselves for life. We encourage, we praise and we guide our children to their true potential – instilling high self esteem and confidence every step of the way. The topic based curriculum is regularly changed to offer our children a variety of ‘hands-on experiences’ incorporating visitors from all walks of life and education visits to outside our immediate school vicinity.
As a Church of England school, we actively promote Christian values through every aspect of the life of the school, but also encourage the children to develop their understanding of other faiths.
We are very proud of the warm, caring and friendly ethos we create within our school. The staff, governors and parents work as a team with the pupils to provide a stimulating culture for learning.
