Welcome to Irchester!
The staff and governors at Irchester Community Primary School are committed to providing the highest quality of education and care for every child in our school. We believe this is best achieved through creating an open and positive partnership between home and school.
Through working together, we are able to provide the personalised learning experiences required to ensure every child is happy, successful and can develop to the best of their ability.
We are dedicated to promoting children’s mental health and wellbeing and offer a range of opportunities for the children to develop their recognition of their emotions and how to cope with them. Self-regulation is incredibly important and allows the children to manage their emotions. As a result, techniques are explicitly taught and the children (and staff) practise these regularly throughout the week.
School Values are at the heart of the school and we promote these in various ways. We teach the values explicitly but also refer to them throughout our learning in each classroom and beyond into our playtimes and lunchtimes. The school council are leading a project to revamp these values to ensure all children are aware of them and can earn a reward for showing them around school.
We are unique in having a dedicated Science Lab (Lab_13) onsite with a Scientist in residence to promote learning through discovery. The lab is managed by the pupils, for them to devise experiments driven by their curiosity and imagination. We are a centre of excellence for primary science; providing training opportunities for local teachers and workshops for children.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website, we hope you like our school as much as we do!
