Berkswell School
Berkswell Church of England Aided Primary School is situated in the centre of the village of Berkswell and takes pupils from four to eleven years of age. Being a church school, the school has very close links with the church. Services are held in the church twice each term for the children and their parents. The Rector takes the Assembly once a week and works closely with the Head Teacher as a member of the Governing Body. Several other members of the church are also representatives on the governing body.
The school primarily serves the Parish of Berkswell, but where places are available the school welcomes applications for children living outside the Parish. There has been a school in berkswell since 1500 when pupils had their lessons at the Church. The original Victorian structure provided two classrooms and living accomodation for the Head Teacher. Since then, Berkswell School has expanded and successfully evolved through changing times.
Currently there are 220 children in the school organised into seven classes, one for each age group in school.

School Facilities

Three new classrooms were opened in 1993; two further classrooms  and a computer suite were added in 1997.  All of the older classrooms in school have been refitted and are very well resourced, largely due to the active and supportive Parents Association.
The school aims to provide a very caring and secure learning environment in which children of all abilities can reach their full potential.
If you are looking for a Primary School for your child please make an appointment through the school secretary to visit the school and see for yourself the education that is available.

Nursery Class

The school has a Nursery Class, providing 30 part time places for children aged 3 to 4. Working within the newly designed unit, staff aim to give the children a secure and happy start to their school lives,planning appropriate activities and maintaining close links with parents.
