Spalding St Paul's Community Primary and Nursery School

Spalding St Paul’s Primary School and Nursery welcomes all children and is committed to offering an inclusive curriculum and a supportive learning environment. We strive to ensure the best possible progress for ALL of our pupils, whatever their background, needs or abilities.

We are a medium-sized friendly school, with a positive atmosphere, where all staff get to know the children well. We have high standards of discipline and behaviour at St Paul’s School. We encourage politeness and respect for other people, their property and their beliefs. It is our aim to develop independence, core values and a desire to achieve. We also try to create a happy school environment in which everyone can feel comfortable, safe and secure.

We provide a creative, engaging, broad and flexible curriculum based on the interests and needs of our pupils. Our children regularly experience a wide range of visits and visitors and take part in a variety of experiences. We provide a curriculum that enriches learning, develops skills and inspires children to become lifelong learners and reach their potential.

St Paul’s is a primary school with a nursery for children aged between 3 and 11 years. The school has an extensive playing field, a large playground and a designated pond area. There is a large outdoor area to support our Nursery and Reception provision, a trim trail and outdoor classroom. The school has 8 classrooms, a spacious hall, a library, a kitchen area and a number of small work areas. We provide a wide variety of extra-curricular clubs after school.

We work closely with parents and families who need support, help or reassurance. We also have many children in school with English as an additional language and these children are well supported by experienced members of staff.

Our staff have a wide range of knowledge and have undertaken further training to support the children in many ways. This includes ELKAN Speech and Language support, ELSA Training, Lego Therapy, Epi-pen training, Diabetes, Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding, Swimming Coaching, Phonics training, NVQ’s and Higher Level Teaching Assistant awards, amongst others.
