A welcome from Mrs Farren
I am proud to lead a wonderful team who are dedicated, skilled and caring. Everyone who works at Norton has shared values and aims; ensuring that each child reaches their full potential. We know that this can only be achieved when children feel confident enough to learn from their mistakes and challenged to reach personal goals in a happy and exciting learning environment.
The school continues to go from strength to strength. We have grown from teaching in mixed age classes to single year groups which is hugely beneficial when looking at the progression of the curriculum. We are big enough to provide an array of clubs and extra- curricular activities; small enough to know each child and family individually.
We have had much to celebrate over the past few years….
We were one of the first schools in Gloucestershire to achieve Mental Health Champion status and have highly trained staff members who guide children through life’s challenges with great skill and care.
Our Sporting achievements include winning both boys and girls football tournaments and leagues. We have a talented sports coach who ensures quality P.E teaching across all year groups, focussing on fundamental skills and building every child into the best sports person they can be.
We have high academic expectations and teaching is consistently strong from Reception to Year 6 with teachers leading groups in the County for Maths.
Norton team provides exciting learning opportunities where children can express themselves and develop their self-confidence. With a strong moral base running alongside excellent teaching, we support children to become successful, confident individuals ready for the challenges of secondary school and beyond.
