Empowering confident, capable young people to make a difference
Welcome to Garway Primary School, a thriving rural school nestled in the beautiful rolling countryside of Garway, Herefordshire. We are a small, close-knit community of children, staff, and parents who share a strong bond with our local village. Our school is dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment that celebrates the uniqueness and strengths of each child.
Our Philosophy
Our approach is built on the principles of achievement, hard work, and individuality. We believe that every child deserves to be treated as an individual, with their own strengths, abilities, and talents. Our staff is committed to getting to know each child as an individual, and tailoring our teaching methods to meet their unique needs.
Curriculum
Our Curriculum is designed to be engaging, challenging, and relevant to our children's lives. We offer a wide range of subjects, including English, Maths, Science, Art, Design Technology, Computing, Geography, History, Modern Foreign Languages, Music, Physical Education, and Religious Education. Our Curriculum is designed to enrich our children's learning experience, with opportunities to explore and develop their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Enrichment Activities
In addition to our core subjects, we offer a range of enrichment activities that cater to the diverse interests and abilities of our children. These activities include Forest Schools, which provide a unique and engaging way to learn and develop problem-solving skills. We also offer a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, and drama, which help to develop our children's confidence, teamwork, and communication skills.
Our Facilities
Our school boasts extensive and varied grounds, with plenty of activity areas where our children can play and learn. We also have a strong commitment to taking our learning outside, with many of our classes enjoying Forest School activities. Our classrooms are designed to be stimulating and engaging, with plenty of natural light and modern facilities.
Parent and Community Involvement
We believe that parents and the local community play a vital role in our children's education. We have a very active Parent Staff Association (PSA) that provides fantastic support to the school and organises fundraising and social activities throughout the year. Our children also have a powerful voice in moving the school forward through the Green Garway Group, which gives them the opportunity to participate in decision-making and contribute to the school's development.
Our Approach
At Garway Primary School, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming and inclusive community. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and a love of learning that stays with our children throughout their lives. We strive to provide a nurturing and supportive environment that celebrates the uniqueness of each child, and prepares them to make a positive contribution to our world.
