'Be Ready, Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Your Best!'

Welcome to Sythwood Primary and Nursery School. Our school motto is more than just words—it’s the foundation of everything we do. At Sythwood, we are committed to creating a nurturing, inclusive, and ambitious environment where every child and adult is empowered to thrive and become their personal best.

We are proud of our continued academic success, with KS2 results consistently above the national average. This reflects our high expectations and the tailored support, challenge, and opportunities we provide for every learner. Our curriculum is designed to be purposeful and engaging, enriched with exciting experiences that spark curiosity and a love of learning.

We have a dedicated staff team at our school. From teachers and learning support assistants to our admin and premises teams, every member of staff is a role model who contributes to the high standards we uphold. Our senior leadership team is visible, approachable, and committed to driving the school forward with ambition and care. Team leaders across the school ensure consistency and excellence in every phase.

We value our diverse and vibrant community of parents and carers. We know that strong partnerships between home and school are key to children’s success. That’s why we host regular events and sessions to welcome families into school life—please keep an eye on our calendar and newsletters for upcoming opportunities to get involved.

Our school is set in spacious grounds with exceptional facilities. Each phase has its own dedicated building, and we are fortunate to have a communal hall, a forest school area, an outdoor gym, and a multi-use games area. These spaces support our commitment to holistic development—nurturing not just academic achievement, but physical, social, and emotional wellbeing too.

We also offer a wide range of extracurricular activities that allow children to explore new interests, develop talents, and build confidence. From sports clubs and music lessons to coding, drama, and art, there is something for everyone. Leadership opportunities such as school council, eco-committee, and peer mentoring help children grow into responsible, community-minded individuals. These experiences enrich our pupils’ education and help them become well-rounded, resilient learners.
