About Us

At our school we aim to give children a good educational foundation for life. We give all children  the opportunity to develop their academic and social potential. We have a friendly, enthusiastic and caring atmosphere, and parents are always welcome.

Cippenham Infants was built in 1937. The school badge  is a rose. It was grown in the early 20th century by a man called George Lilley. The circlet around the rose represents the moat that surrounded a palace in Cippenham. The site was from Norman times, but no trace remains.

Since the school's early days, we have grown in strength. We currently have 270 children, from Reception to Year 2. The 9 classes are divided into: 3 x Foundation Stage.      3 x Year 1.      3 x Year 2.
 

Children enter school in the September of the academic year in which they will turn 5.

 

 

The staff work together as a team and welcome others to the school. Our  Head teacher is Mrs R. Cross, and our two Assistant Heads are Miss C. Lambourne and Miss S. Dewberry.
