One of the things that makes Staverton such a special place is its strong sense of community. Over the past few years our school has become known not only for the care and ambition we show for our children, but also for the way we bring people together. A school should be at the heart of its community, and I am proud that Staverton is growing into that role.

Our building is full of life throughout the week. On Sundays two churches gather here for worship. Barnardo’s makes use of our space during the week. Local clubs meet here in the evenings. These activities remind us that a school is more than classrooms and corridors. It is a place where people can connect, support one another and share experiences.

This spirit of togetherness is also seen in the work of F.O.S.S. (Friends of Staverton School). This group of parents and volunteers give their time and energy to organise fetes, fundraisers and events that bring joy to our children and help to enrich their school experience. Their efforts not only raise vital funds but also create lasting memories. I am deeply grateful for their commitment and I encourage all families to get behind them in any way they can.

Primary school is about more than lessons. It is about belonging, friendship and community. It is about helping children to grow up knowing that they are part of something bigger than themselves. At Staverton, we are building that together and I could not be more thankful!
