About Us

Children at Petworth CofE Primary School are inspired to become independent learners in a stimulating academic environment. They are nurtured to keep JOY (Jesus, Others, Yourself) in mind as they are enriched academically, socially and spiritually. Our young learners are challenged by our creative curriculum, which equips them with the appropriate knowledge and skills, which gives them a positive attitude on their early steps of academic discovery.

Our school is very unique as we have a farm, which gives our children further opportunities to develop their nurturing side. Throughout the year, we have members of the Petworth community support all aspects of school life, including the farm, and this wonderful relationship is an important aspect of school.

At Petworth CofE Primary School we offer every child a safe, caring environment where they will be able to thrive in all aspects of their school journey.
