WELCOME FROM THE HEADTEACHER We are delighted that you are interested in your child attending Everton Heath Primary School.

We are a small village school set in rural Bedfordshire catering for up to 70 children in the main school and an additional 10 children at the on-site ‘Evertots’ Pre School.

We are a successful school at the heart of the community which provides each young person exciting opportunities to achieve their best, celebrate their talents and contribute to life in the 21st century.

We believe through hard work and vision each one of us can follow our individual dreams and realise our unique talents while still coming together to benefit the school, the community and the world around us.

To ensure we achieve excellence for all our children, we are proud to recently become members of The Cam Academy Trust. We believe that their support, development opportunities and expertise will further enhance our school; ensuring we continue to thrive and flourish.

We welcome visits to the school and will be very happy to show you around. We look forward to working in partnership with you.

Parents and families are at the heart of our small village school. The partnership between home and school means all children have the opportunity to make positive steps towards achieving their individual potential in a supportive and encouraging environment. We will provide the best opportunities for all children to enjoy, achieve and, in the process, feel valuable members of the local and global community.

Regular communication is essential and something we pride ourselves in. Care, guidance and support are strong, forging excellent links with all members of the school community.

WIDER EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Throughout the academic year all of our children have opportunities to engage in a wide range of educational and creative enrichments, both in school and out. Every child can participate in a range of performances, clubs and festivals.

School visits are far ranging including sporting events, day trips and residentials.

Our range of extensive after-school clubs stimulate the children’s interests and help to develop their independence and creativity. We are extremely lucky during the summer terms to make use of our own heated swimming pool within the school grounds.

“Our children have made leaps and bounds both academically and socially since beginning at Everton Heath Primary. So many opportunities for them at such a young age has built up a huge amount of confidence. It’s wonderful to know they feel safe, appreciated by both teachers and peers and wake up excited for the school day ahead.” – Parent Comment 2018
