Headteacher's Welcome

It is a joy to lead our school family, where every child is known and cherished as an individual. Inspired by the words of Jesus in John 13:15—“For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you’, we seek to offer a rich and nurturing education rooted in our Christian values of Respect, Compassion, Perseverance, Friendship. Forgiveness and Trust. Our small classes create a true family feel, allowing each pupil to be supported and challenged to reach their full potential. Together with parents, church and wider community, we serve one another and grow in faith, preparing our children to make a positive impact on the world as compassionate, confident and capable young people. We strive each day to live out our school vision and inspire the same in our children:

A foundation for lifelong learning,

To reach our full potential,

By following the example of Jesus

We would be delighted to show you our school in action. Please contact the school office for more details, or come along to one of our Open Days to meet the Nutley Team.
