Silchester Church of England Primary School

I would like to welcome you to Silchester Church of England Primary School which is nestled in the heart of the beautiful Silchester woodland. As a small school with a big heart, we take great pride in our commitment to our core Christian values of Compassion, Courage, and Respect.

Our vision for Silchester is for everyone to flourish.  Our school embodies love, it is a place of belonging and family.  We have a heart for people, inspiring everyone to be the best version of themselves: for themselves, for others, for our community and for our world.

Our aim is that the children of Silchester are confident in their own self-worth and resilient overcoming the obstacles they face.  Their skills, learning, memories of experiences, and positive relationships will empower them to contribute to the wider world and make a difference.

We aim for our children to be lifelong learners who are grounded in our Christian values of compassion, courage and respect, and ready to embrace their next steps – whatever they may be.

Life at Silchester - Set amidst the tranquil Silchester woods, our school offers a truly unique and enriching educational experience. Pupils have the opportunity to explore the natural world through our forest school and inspiring curriculum, where they learn valuable outdoor skills and develop a deep appreciation for the environment.

In the classroom, our dedicated teachers are committed to spark a love of learning in each child, tailoring their approach to meet the individual needs of our students.  Whether it's through hands-on STEM projects, immersive literary studies, or creative arts and music, we strive to provide a well-rounded curriculum that prepares our students for future success.

Beyond the academic realm, Silchester is a caring, inclusive community where families, staff, our church and the wider community come together to celebrate our shared values.  From lively PTA events to sports days and WOW Weeks, there is always something happening at our school that brings out the best in our children and strengthens the bonds between us all.

Come and see for yourself how our commitment to compassion, courage, and respect is shaping the next generation of confident, kind-hearted, and socially conscious individuals.

I look forward to welcoming you,
