Information

Smitham Primary and Nursery is a state school, for children from Nursery age to Year 6.

Some words from the Head Teacher Mrs Garner:

We are a unique, effective and welcoming school, using the ‘Smitham Smart approach’ to ensure optimal success for our children.

In March 2017 Ofsted judged us to be a good school, with behaviour and attitudes to learning particularly praised. We have worked very hard over recent years to further improve children’s achievement and learners are making increasingly good progress throughout the school. Smitham children are achieving results that are above national averages in all National assessments in Reception; Phonics for Year 1 & 2 and SATs in Year 2 & Year 6. 

We offer a wide and motivating curriculum. This supports academic learning, encourages outdoor activities and results in sporting success at league and cluster tournament level, as well as high level skills in art, design, drama and music.

Recent building works have provided more pupil places and contributed hugely to a much improved and spacious learning environment.

I am immensely proud of our friendly and supportive school, with its excellent learning environment, where children flourish, because they are happy and receive the best possible education. We very much look forward to welcoming your child to the Smitham community.
