Dear parents, carers and friends,

Welcome to our lovely village school; a small school with BIG dreams which we seek to turn into realities as we journey together to make it an exciting, motivating and successful time for everyone but most of all our children who are at the centre of all we do.

As an exceptionally dedicated and committed staff team, we know that children learn best when they are happy and safe and feel valued and respected. Our Christian values permeate through everything we do. We have high expectations of all the pupils in all areas of their learning, including the way they deal with others, develop in independence and take on responsibilities, so that each one feels valued as a member of our learning community.

Parents and carers play a very important part of school life and so we value our partnership with you all. We look forward to working closely together in the best interests of all our children and encourage you to become involved in all aspects of school life, so that, as partners, we can promote high standards of learning, behaviour and attitudes to enable every child to reach their full potential.

At Tewin Cowper School we offer high quality teaching by dedicated and hardworking staff. Whilst it is essential that our children achieve the best possible outcomes in Maths and English, we firmly believe that a quality education encompasses so much more than just those areas that are currently used to measure school performance. We therefore provide a broad, balanced and enriching curriculum to ensure that we are investing in every child’s future, whatever their aspirations and what they would ‘like to be when they are grown up’. Every child is unique and we relish the opportunity to nurture and help develop future scientists, artists, musicians, historians, athletes, computer programmers, authors and so forth.

We believe Tewin Cowper is a school to be proud of - a place where children love to learn, dream BIG dreams and achieve amazing things. Thank you for being with us on your child’s exciting journey.
