Appreciation

The Staff, Governors and Pupils welcome you to our school website. We hope that
you will find it informative, engaging and interesting and that it provides you
with an insight into our ethos and values. We aim to share with you, the
organisation and the feel of our school with information about our curriculum,
Staff, Governors, Friends of Sutton School as well as up to date events,
learning and activities. 

 

 

Sutton VA Lower is a successful, happy and welcoming school. We care deeply for
our children; their welfare and progress. The Statutory Inspection of Anglican
and Methodist Schools (SIAMS), in their 2017 inspection stated ‘Pupils all enjoy
school. They feel safe and attain well above the national average. Each child is
known individually to all staff. Relationships are excellent and pupils enjoy
opportunities to work in family groups or across the age range. Parents praise
the school’s Christian character and family atmosphere.’

We are a popular and typically, oversubscribed school, attracting children and
families from Biggleswade, Potton and the surrounding villages. Our provision
for our pupils has a justifiably high reputation and consequently parents chose
to send their children to our school from outside of their catchment area
school. They are attracted to and support the strong values, Christian ethos and
child centred approach which form the basis of our vision and aims.

Currently we have 3 classes; a Reception Class, a mixed age Year 1 – 2 Class and
a mixed age Year 3 – 4 Class. We are converting to a Primary School from
September 2024 with our first Year 5 Class, who will in September 2025 become
our first Year 6 pupils. This will become a mixed Year 5 – 6 class from
September 2025.

We enjoy strong, close links with All Saints' Church Sutton and the diocese of
St Albans. Our pupils, from all faiths and none, benefit from the links we have
and the opportunities we create to explore values, morals, faith and the time to
reflect on what they and others consider important.

We provide a wide range of exciting learning experiences within our carefully
planned, broad curriculum. Our school is positioned within in a wonderful
setting where pupils have access to a range of outdoor areas within our grounds
as well as easy access to local woodland. Staff consider outdoor and active
learning to be beneficial to pupils’ physical, academic and mental wellbeing, as
a result they seek opportunities to enable pupils to learn in a range of
environments.

Children make good progress in all stages of the school, and the school is
highly regarded. Typically, our results are above national averages. Further
details can be found on our website.

Our school is well managed and has an established and excellent complement of
teaching, non-teaching and administrative staff. Our Governing Body is active,
supportive, experienced and committed to ensuring the school achieves its aims.
Our school works within the BCUS Cluster of schools with whom we share
expertise, resources and a shared vision for positive and smooth transitions
between the phases of schooling.

Head Teacher       

Ofsted identified our Pupil's Behaviour and Attitudes and the school's provision
for their Personal Development to be outstanding:

" Pupils really enjoy attending this small, friendly school. It is a close-knit
community where everyone looks after one another. Pupils ‘live the school’s
values’ through the kindness, respect and care they show for others. They are
confident to share their feelings and opinions. They show respect for other
cultures and beliefs and know why this is important. 

Leaders are ambitious for pupils in all respects. Pupils respond well to
teachers’ high expectations. All pupils want to learn and do their best. They
take part in learning activities enthusiastically and learn well across the
curriculum. Pupils concentrate and listen attentively to others in lessons.

Pupils behave exceptionally well in and out of lessons. High expectations of
behaviour are evident right from when children start school and join the
Reception class." - Ofsted Inspection Report 14th and 15th September 2021

We are proud to have been awarded overall Good in this inspection. You can read
the full report here.

"The distinctive Christian character of the school is woven through every aspect
of school life and has a significant impact on the pupils’ attainment and
behaviour." - Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS)
Report - 8th March 2017

We are delighted to have been awarded a SIAMS inspection grade of Outstanding.
