I am delighted to welcome you to our website. I hope that it will give you a flavour of what Brailes Church of England Primary School is all about.

We are a growing, thriving school and part of The Stour Federation Multi Academy Trust.  It is an absolute pleasure for me to be the Headteacher of such a happy, friendly school with kind, caring, well-behaved pupils and a committed and dedicated team of staff.  We are lucky enough to work in the most beautiful setting in the Cotswold countryside, with a super learning environment inside the school building too.

Brailes School is situated in a beautiful area of south Warwickshire close to the Oxfordshire border. The school serves the villages of Upper and Lower Brailes, as well as Winderton, Sutton under Brailes, Stourton, Cherington and Whichford and the surrounding areas in Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire and aims to provide a centre for educational excellence in the area. Brailes School is an academy for children aged 3 years to 11 years.

Our school aims to be as involved as possible in the community and with other local educational opportunities, and is fully committed to participate in activities offered. The school provides a foundation for life, enabling children to be supported to flourish and reach their full potential and feel valued, respected, known, included, safe and happy. All our pupils aspire to the high standards of a well performing school. 

Every child has a right to learn, be supported to find and nurture their passion and encouraged to achieve well in a caring, structured and disciplined atmosphere that promotes academic, creative, spiritual,  physical and social development. 

We offer an exciting and inspiring curriculum that celebrates the beautiful and unique setting of our school as well as offering a window to the rest of modern Britain and the world. We are proud of our Brailes school community. Belonging at Brailes means and feels: being heard, included, welcomed, valued, known and connected. To be able to flourish is never an individual pursuit, but a collective endeavour, released in relationships and communities that live well together. 

We would really welcome the chance to show you and your child around the school and to answer any questions you have and explain and show you in more detail what a special place Brailes is. 

I  look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to Brailes.
