About Us
Welcome to Orchard Primary & Nursery School!
On behalf of myself, the staff, and governors, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to Orchard Primary and Nursery School.
At Orchard, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels part of our close-knit community. Our dedicated team works hard each day to make learning enjoyable and help children succeed in all areas of school life.
Orchard is not just a school – it’s a happy, supportive community focused on ensuring that children are safe, healthy, and well-equipped to thrive. We value our families and put your child at the heart of everything we do.
We hope you enjoy exploring our website, but we encourage you to visit us in person to see the school in action. You’ll be warmly welcomed.
