What the school offers its staff
Crudwell Church of England Primary School is a primary school within the parish of Crudwell, Malmesbury and the Diocese of Bristol. We seek to provide a Christian environment which will enable pupils to become aware of and reflect upon their own experiences and those of others; and to discover meaning and value in such experiences which might reveal the love and presence of God. We maintain strong links between our school and the local church, All Saints, Crudwell and the school is subject to a Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) approximately every five years. We are committed to the development of the ‘Whole Child’ which includes valuing all children equally and as individuals. We believe that our approach to our pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is fully inclusive and therefore nurturing and appropriate for all pupils, those of any faith and those of no faith.

We encourage children to share their own views, traditions, beliefs and understandings across a wider range of issues and subjects within the curriculum with each other in ways which are accepting, tolerant and respectful of others.
