Welcome to Bury C of E Primary School

Was your child born between 1 September 2014 and 31 August 2015? If so then he or she is eligible to start school here in September 2019. Please contact Mrs Clark in the office if you would like to have a look around by telephone: 01798 831502 or email: office@bury.school and we will arrange a time for you to come and see the school in action.

Bury Church of England Primary School is a Voluntary Aided School, part of which means the Governors are responsible for admissions and not the Local Authority. The Governors welcome applications from all who support our vision and ethos; we currently have children from Pulborough to Chichester and beyond. If our vision and ethos is something that appeals to you, please book an appointment to come and have a look around.

Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to Bury CofE Primary School. This website aims to give you a snapshot of what life at Bury is all about, this however can never compare to seeing the school first-hand. If you are looking for a school rich in history, yet always forward thinking; book an appointment with Mrs Clark at the school office where I can arrange for some of our pupils to show you what it is like to be one of the STARs (Success, Teamwork, Aspiration, Respect, Resilience and Responsibility) at Bury.

If there is something that you cannot find on the website, please do not hesitate to get in touch - it will help us to improve our website. As with all of the children at Bury, we are all keen to learn and continuously improve.

The school is set in a fantastic location and we are always developing our curriculum to ensure that we take every advantage of this . We have links with the Church and those are reflected in our caring, loving Christian ethos based around the Christian values. Whilst we have a strong emphasis on ensuring the children leave Bury with excellent standards of English and Maths, we believe this is achieved through utilising the whole curriculum; providing those moments of awe and wonder that stimulate curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

Bury is a small rural primary school educating children from 4 – 11. We put a great emphasis on truly knowing all our children and knowing the next steps required on their learning journey.

We have much smaller than average class sizes, with the largest class being 21, ensuring the children are given quality time with their teacher every day. Everyone here is incredibly proud of our school, so much so that the children decided to create a film (just below) to give you an insight into life here at Bury.
