Why Choose Us?
Why choose Finmere Primary School and Preschool for your child?
Our Class Sizes and Approach
Our class sizes are small and mixed-age.
Because we maintain a high adult-to-pupil ratio, children receive a highly personalised learning experience. Research strongly supports the benefits of mixed-age classrooms. Not only do pupils often outperform their same-age peers academically, but studies also show they thrive socially.
Academic Achievement
Our pupils’ academic achievement is in line with both county-wide and national performance data. A recent Year 6 cohort exceeded national expectations for reading at greater depth. Destination schools for our pupils have included Magdalen College School (Brackley), Royal Latin School (Buckingham), and The Cooper School (Bicester).
Our Staff and Learning Environment
Our team is passionate, professional, and deeply committed to providing the very best for our pupils. Thanks to our small school community, we are able to maintain open and regular communication between parents/carers, pupils, and staff.
Mixed-age classes encourage children to care for and support one another—skills that stay with them for life and help foster a warm, positive environment for all.
Community Links
We are proud members of the Warriner Multi Academy Trust, which we joined in March 2020. Being part of the Trust allows us to retain our unique learning environment while offering broader learning opportunities to our pupils.
We also enjoy strong ties with the village of Finmere and the local church.
