Welcome

Thank you for visiting our website. We were graded 'Good' in our most recent Ofsted in June 2015 and would be delighted to offer you the opportunity to look round the school and the extensive grounds to see first hand the amazing experiences each child is offered. We are situated in a truly picturesque setting with a large, safe and secure outdoor space which allows us to provide stimulating indoor and outdoor environments offering exciting learning opportunities. We have had some building work done over the summer break and now have a fantastic new entrance, offices and classroom for our year 3 and 4 pupils.

Mary Towerton School opened in 1976 and is named after the councillor whose energy and effort made it possible. We celebrated our 40th Anniversary in June 2016.

We are a small friendly school offering a nurturing creative environment for children to begin their school career. We currently have three classes organised into Foundation, Year  1 and Year 2, and Year 3 and 4. The staff are skilled at working with mixed age classes ensuring appropriate challenge and support for all children to enable them to achieve their individual best. We promote positive values and attitudes, and strive to offer the best possible learning experience for our children.

From September 2017 we started our journey to become an all through primary school. This is a very exciting time for the school and it will grow to accommodate a new year group each year enabling us to educate pupils from Foundation to Year 6 pupils from September 2020. The final phase of building work will be completed during this academic year to give us a fourth classroom.

We are all very proud of our school and there is always something interesting and important happening! We have happy and enthusiastic pupils, hard working and committed staff, engaging and effective governors and friendly and supportive parents.  

Please contact the office to make an appointment and we look forward to meeting you. We are more than happy to show you around at any time.
