Siddington Primary School

Siddington Church of England Primary School is a small school serving the village and its surroundings. Tucked away down a single track lane, it is bordered by glorious countryside offering a calm, peaceful environment in which children can learn and grow. The school is very friendly and parents claim it is like a large family where everyone supports one another.

There are three classes with about 18 pupils in each class and a caring professional staff that deliver a broad and balanced curriculum to all pupils. The school has strong links with St Peter‟s church and the vicar is the Chair of Governors. Throughout the year the children celebrate Christian festivals such as Harvest Festival, Advent, Christmas and Easter through activities such as fruit and vegetable market stalls, a Christmas Fayre and Christingle Service, and an Easter egg hunt or Easter hat parade. The church community also provides an Open the Book assembly each week when stories are read from the Bible. At the end of each year there is a leavers' service at Gloucester Cathedral.

The Headteacher, Mrs Ann Blakelock, leads the school with a dedicated band of teaching staff and an active Board of Governors made up of the Vicar, members of the diocese, Siddington community, the Local Authority, and parents.

Members of the school community include the dedicated head, teachers, teaching assistants, school secretary, cook and cleaner, not forgetting the wonderful children and their families and the great Governing Body that supports and challenges the school.
