About this company

At North Cerney we pride ourselves in our knowledge and understanding of every pupil; their likes and dislikes, their fears and their hopes, their weaknesses and strengths. In this way, we are able to nurture the whole child, whilst preparing them for their journey through to senior school. Our lively and engaging curriculum offers opportunities for each child. Underpinned by our Christian values, the security of being part of a close-knit school within a vibrant local community provides a solid foundation for life in Modern Britain. Involving children in their own learning development, along with support from their peers and the careful guidance of enthusiastic, dedicated teachers, is, I believe, the cornerstone of a good education.
