Dear Parents/Carers
Welcome to Brunswick.
We are so pleased you have taken the time to consider Brunswick Infant School for your child. This is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent.
At Brunswick we always try our best, we care for everyone and work hard to meet the needs of all our children whatever their skills, talents, difficulties or special needs.
We provide a loving, caring environment that will nurture all children along their learning journey. Our school is continually improving and one of our key strengths is our pastoral care. We promote pupils’ independence through self-assessment and our ‘teach to the top’ approach. We want all our pupils to be confident and self-motivated with a desire to be the best they can be.
With kind regards.
Jackie Bennett & Jan Osborne

“Governors have the pupils’ needs at the heart of all they do. Governors are well informed and provide effective challenge to leaders, holding them fully to account for their actions.”
“The governing body offers strong support to the school and holds senior leaders to account for the impact of their work. Governors are passionate about their roles and are ambitious for the school. They have a wide range of relevant skills and experience. Their skills have been further enhanced with suitable training.”
