Read below to find out more about some of the different activities we have been getting up to; from sporting and musical activities, to visitors and 'wow' days. We are looking forward to helping our children 'explore and grow' further in 2023-24.

• We're 'feeling good'!

  Sun 27 Apr 2014
  We're delighted that Exton and Greetham CE Primary School has maintained its "good" ranking and garnered many positive comments following its latest visit from the education watchdog. Inspectors found "The school prepares pupils well as they move through the Early Years, Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2". Inspectors particularly commended "the warm and welcoming atmosphere that values all pupils. Attractive displays, an emphasis on the arts and good use of resources all add to the good teaching observed." 
  
  Because the school is small, the children, aged from 4 to 11, learn to mix socially and academically with students outside of their own year group. Indeed the report comments on the youngest children making "good progress in their personal, social and emotional development and learn well from being in a class with pupils from year 1 and 2" and praised the "deeply caring environment and thorough understanding that all adults have of individual children's needs." 
  
  We are proud of all the achievements and the work that the children do within the school community and beyond. The report notes, "The school seeks to work with the wider community and is involved in raising funds for the local church and different charities. The school is proud of being the only recipient in Rutland of a national singing award." 
  
  We are delighted that Ofsted recognised the many wonderful things that happen at our school. We are a small village school who pride ourselves on our family ethos. The school has been recognised as a good school with well-behaved, hardworking children and supportive staff and governors. As a small school national test results can be affected by individual children, and it is great that the inspectors recognised how we work with every individual to ensure that the all reach their personal potential.

• Easter Celebrations

  Thu 03 Apr 2014
   Our Easter Day started with our Easter Service in Greetham Church. This told the story through the Easter alphabet. Key Stage 2 children led us through the story with clear reading and diction and shared some wonderful art work. Key Stage 1 joined in for some hearty singing. After lunch we had our traditional egg rolling. Congratulations to our winning egg rollers. It was nice that 4 of the 6 winning eggs were 'home laid'; and particularly good that 2 of those were from chicks hatched at school last year! The staff rolled crème eggs. It should be noted that these roll fairly consistently, all credit to the manufacturers! Egg and spoon races followed the egg rolling, and this was followed by our Crème Egg Hunt on the school field. There was some excellent team work with older children helping the younger children. Then there was just enough time to enjoy our Crème Eggs in the sunshine before hometime. One of our school values is 'honesty'. Today has shown what honest children we have. The children also search for Starburst sweets during the Crème Egg Hunt. There were 3 each this year, but we failed to find 5. (These children were topped up from a bag of spares!) During the playtime 3 children each found one of the missing Starburst sweets, and instead of eating their find, brought them to the teachers for safe keeping. Well done.
