Welcome to Newtown Linford Primary School
At Newtown Linford, we believe that positive relationships are the foundation of a thriving school. As a small village school, we are proud of our close-knit community. Our staff know each and every child personally—what makes them tick and where they shine. Small year groups mean our children grow up more like family, building deep and lasting friendships. They leave us not only with excellent academic foundations but also with empathy, tolerance, and a great sense of humour—skills that will serve them for life.
Our school values—excellence, individuality, and adventures—are at the heart of everything we do. We encourage children to strive for excellence in their learning and behaviour, to celebrate what makes them unique, and to embrace every day as an opportunity for discovery and growth.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that is both relevant and exciting. Children are encouraged to be independent thinkers who make informed choices about their learning. We place a strong emphasis on communication, Maths, and English as the cornerstones of success, and we are proud of the high standards our pupils consistently achieve.
Our goal is to help every child reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff team brings a wealth of expertise, passion, and drive—your child couldn’t be in better hands. We ensure that every child can access learning and feel challenged, inspired, and supported in every lesson.
We are incredibly fortunate to be located near Bradgate Park, which we use regularly to enrich our curriculum. From Forest School sessions to outdoor learning adventures and cross country running, the park provides a natural extension of our classrooms, helping children connect with nature, build resilience, and develop confidence.
Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide range of enriching experiences—from educational visits and music to sport and competitions. Our children are known for their superb sportsmanship and spirited participation, and we take pride in helping them grow into well-rounded individuals.
It is a privilege to be the Headteacher of such a wonderful school. Every day, we strive to ensure your child has an exceptional experience at Newtown Linford—one that nurtures their individuality, celebrates their achievements, and prepares them for a future full of adventure.
