Welcome to Eaton Bray Lower School  

                                                                               

Eaton Bray Lower School is a county, co-educational day school which caters for children aged 4 - 9 years of all abilities.

The school moved into a new building in March 1988 which is designed to accommodate 120 children.

We firmly believe that all children should be helped to achieve their full potential through attention to their individual means.


       About Us...       

Welcome to the first glimpse of our School.  We hope that you will choose to come and visit us and meet all our children and staff.  I was appointed Head of Eaton Bray Lower School in February 2005.  However, I have been Deputy Head here since 1991.  I hope this shows a commitment to the School and my belief that it is a special place.  We are small enough to form excellent relationships with our children, and they with each other, but we are large enough to ensure the curriculum is fully covered.  Our School has a quiet, calm, caring ethos, which is commented on by all our visitors. Everyone at the School forms a hardworking and dedicated team.  The staff are reliable and flexible, which is crucial in a small lower School.  The Governors of the School are tremendously supportive and regularly give of their time, not just for meetings but also to offer advice, support and expertise.  We also have a very active Home School Association.  Their time is taken up planning exciting events for the children to enjoy.  As an added bonus, money is often raised for additional School resources. I hope our website will give you a flavour of what our School is like.  Rather than try to explain in detail here, how we work and what we believe in, I would ask that you come and see us.  I look forward to welcoming you and your child/children to our School. 


ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS

We admit children part-time at the beginning of the term following their fourth

birthday. Or they can start full-time in the term in which they are five, if the parent wishes. Statutory education commences in the term following their fifth birthday.

IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER

If we have to shut school because of bad weather, we will inform the local radio stations (Chiltern and BBC3 Counties) who broadcast all school closures on the station and their websites. The addresses of their web sites are as follows - there should be links from there to the school closure pages.

PLEASE only call school as a last resort as we only have one phone line which may become very busy.

HSA

HOME SCHOOL ASSOCIATION 

All parents are automatically members of this association. The Home School Association supports us throughout the year both in supplying support and funds. The Annual General Meeting is usually held in September when a committee for the following year is elected. This committee then plans events for the year and enlists further help as appropriate.

Many of the “extras” in the school and the grounds are the results of their efforts.

LOCATION 

The school is in the middle of the village and can be found quite easily.

If you are approaching Eaton Bray from the south, look out for a small green on your left and continue travelling north. Continue for another 100 metres and School Lane is on the right opposite a farm track.

If you approach from the north, pass St. Mary's church on the right and keep a look out for the village shop to your right. The next turning on the left is School Lane.

Turn into School Lane and continue almost until the end. The school can be found on the left.

Here is one child's own interpretation of where their school is located:
