Ugborough Primary School

An Outstanding School - July 2010

On behalf of the children, staff and governors may I thank you for taking the time to browse our website which we hope will give you an idea about what makes our school so special.

At Ugborough we were delighted to be recognised as an ‘Outstanding’ school by Ofsted. Our highly motivated, friendly staff are committed to providing a very nurturing environment which recognises and supports the uniqueness of each child within a family atmosphere. As recognised by Ofsted, we know each of our children exceptionally well and ensure their individual needs are met. We firmly believe that each child is a special person and needs to be treated with the utmost care and respect.

We are also committed to ensuring our children are confident and competent learners, ready to take on all challenges and make the most of all opportunities that present themselves. Music is a real strength at Ugborough and two thirds of our children take part in additional music tuition provided by peripatetic music teachers who visit the school.

Ugborough is also proud to be part of a unique federation with our neighbouring school Ermington Primary, a partnership that further enhances the opportunities for all of our children and staff. We have one governing body that shapes the strategic direction of both schools and I share my time equally between both schools. We federated in January 2011 and it is working really well.

However, to get a real feel for the school do make an appointment to view the school and meet the children and staff. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss the individual needs of your child.
