Send CofE Primary School in its own words
In its own words: "Choosing a primary school for your child is a huge decision, and one that you will want to research carefully. Are you looking for a nursery place for your child? Would you like to be part of a school community where "pupils show consideration towards each other and a sense of kindness and care permeates the school." (Ofsted 2024)"
From the headteacher's welcome: "I am delighted that you have chosen, or are considering, our school for your child. We believe that childhood is a precious time and the staff at Send CofE work hard to make sure that your children's time with us is happy and fulfilling."
The school runs a breakfast club from 7:30am and after-school care.
