We are a small nurturing primary school set in the heart of a beautiful Cotswold village. We welcome children from Down Ampney and surrounding villages and towns and are only a short drive from Fairford, Cirencester and North Swindon. We offer a breakfast club daily (from 7:45 a.m.) and after school provision (until 5 p.m.).
Parents and carers are able to drop off and pick up safely using the large village car park to the side of the school. We have recently increased from a two-class school to a three-class school, and therefore we are able to teach children in groups of no more than 16. This allows us to personalise the learning for all of our pupils.

After many years teaching in a very large school in London, I have loved coming to Down Ampney and seeing the individual care and nurture we can provide for each child. We have fantastic indoor and outdoor space in class one, and I love coming up with creative ways of using it. It's great seeing the children really enjoy the resources, and my favourite area is the role play.
Our children learn in one of three classes. By having mixed age classes we are able to offer a greater level of challenge or support when our children need it. By having a mixed Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 class, when our new Reception children join us in September they are welcomed by both enthusiastic staff keen to teach them and enthusiastic Year 1s and 2s, ready to help them to settle in to school life.
