Lynsted and Norton Primary School is a small, rural school founded in 1878.

We are proud to be part of Our Community Multi Academy Trust (OCMAT); a group of town, city and village schools that have joined together to provide the very best education for the children in our care and where we believe that education is very much a matter of the individual. This federation of school is under the  the leadership and guidance of Chief Executive Officer Mr David Whitehead.

We are particularly fortunate to be situated in the middle of the countryside surrounded by green fields and orchards. Along with the field and playground our outdoor classroom area allows the outdoor curriculum to become increasingly central to our learning.

We are a busy, friendly school with of lots enrichment activities and a pastoral ethos that is at our core.  The children are encouraged to work hard to achieve their potential and are inspired to take pride in their achievements.  

One of the benefits of being a small school is that we can get to know every child as an individual, with our nurture and care, the children flourish.

We love finding new ways to learn and improve. Our teachers, parents/carers and governors provide guidance to achieve the highest standards we all expect of each other. The school is proud of the respect we have for one another, celebrating differences and sharing similarities – which makes us a happy and secure family and community of children and adults.

Our School Vision Statement:

A positive and nurturing learning community, allowing everyone to thrive and reach their potential.
