The School

At Laxton Junior School, our children and their learning are the centre of all that we do. In a caring and supportive environment, they become exceptional, lifelong learners, who confidently embrace the wide-ranging opportunities that we offer and are able to face challenges with determination and resilience. We believe that all learning opportunities should be challenging, inspiring and engaging and, through our talented and passionate staff, we ensure this contributes to fantastic progress across and beyond the curriculum. As a non-selective school, the personalised learning programmes that we have in place ensure that all our children, from those with additional learning needs to those working beyond age-related expectations, receive the perfect balance of support and challenge, alongside a sense of fun and enjoyment that must accompany the school experience.
