My name is Ed Carlyle and I am delighted to be the Executive Headteacher of Nassington School. I warmly welcome you to our school website, which I hope will give you just a flavour of some of the amazing things we do at this wonderful school.

Nassington School is dedicated to providing children with the best available education in a safe and fun environment. We also teach the children social and wellbeing skills which set them up for the wider world as they move on from us to higher education.

Our mission statement is ‘The Nassington Way’

This applies to everything we do, from the classroom to the playground, from academic accomplishments to the peer to peer interaction that build up the children’s social engagement.  Nassington School is dedicated to providing children with the best available education in a safe and fun environment.

We also teach the children social and wellbeing skills which set them up for the wider world as they move on from us to higher education. Every child has the potential to be outstanding and we believe it is our job to nurture this potential and watch it grow in every activity that takes place in the school and during extra-curricular opportunities. We encourage imagination, creativity and practical achievements as much as the core assessment criteria.

Our aim is that every child who leaves our school will be more confident, social and ready to take the next step towards the rest of their lives.

Our values are:

• Teamwork
• Inclusivity and Kindness
• Courage
• Independence
• Resilience
• Creativity

As we develop our vision, we will ensure that these values are at the core of all we do! You can find 'The Nassington Way' on our policy page.

Our November 2023 Ofsted report judged Nassington School as 'good'. Here are some of the comments from the report:

'The school has designed an ambitious curriculum. Each subject develops important skills and knowledge. It is sequenced well. The curriculum builds knowledge year after year, providing detail from early years to Year 6. What pupils need to know in each lesson is clear.'

'Pupils enjoy their learning. They listen carefully to adults and their friends. Pupils try their best in lessons.'

'Pupils’ broader development is a strength of the school. Pupils enjoy opportunities to join many clubs, including dance-based exercise, library, football and instrument tuition. They develop their leadership skills through the school council and sports leader roles. They learn about life in modern Britain. They are well prepared for secondary school.'

Of course, the best way to experience Nassington School is to see it for yourself. We look forward to welcoming you for a visit to our fantastic school!
