Our School Vision
Jesus promised a ‘life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10). As a unique rural school, inspired by our Christian love, we nurture our family to grow and shine spiritually, personally and academically.
Tardebigge First School opened in 1815 to serve the well-established districts of Tardebigge and the surrounding areas. The school is a small one-form entry First School with extensive grounds and beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. We can offer highly motivated, happy and confident children, a dedicated and supportive staff team, and a welcoming school community. We invest significantly in professional development and are committed to supporting all staff to grow in their roles.
We value working collaboratively with other local schools and have established strong partnerships that provide support and opportunities for sharing good practice. Relationships across our community are excellent: staff work together cooperatively, parents are supportive and engaged, and the Governing Board is fully involved in the life of the school.
Tardebigge First School is committed to safeguarding, the PREVENT strategy and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Pupils learn to accept and uphold our fundamental British values.
