As a village school, community is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud of our strong links with local organisations, charities and community groups, which enrich children’s experiences and help them develop a deep sense of belonging to the place they call home.
We enjoy performing at the local Church at Harvest, Christmas and Easter. Ministers from the Bradgate Churches group lead an Assembly within school from time to time.
We join in with the village’s Advent Fayre each year where our choir performs carols with the village Choral Society.
We are on the rota for the village Coffee and Cake morning and help by serving refreshments and performing for the visitors.
We visit Bradgate Park which enables us to share this wonderful resource we have on our doorstep. Forest School with Ranger Rob is a particular favourite!
We are grateful to Newtown Linford Cricket Club for letting us use their cricket ground to hold our annual Sports Day.
The Linford and the Village Hall are used for our school productions to enable a larger audience than our School hall can hold. The PTA also use the Village Hall as the venue for School Discos. We are grateful for their support in letting us use their spaces.
We work with local charities and collect donations at Harvest, this year for Anstey Food Bank via the Soar Valley Outreach programme.
Did you know that we are one of only a few schools to have a War Memorial Stone in our grounds? You can read more about how this came to be and the dedication ceremony which took place in 2015 in the Newtown Linford magazine (p29).
