Bantock Primary School provides a warm welcome and a nurturing environment for its children, their families and the wider community.  Every child is viewed as an individual, their strengths celebrated and their areas for development identified to enable them to achieve and to be the best that they can be.  The school provides a stimulating learning environment, which is differentiated to support and recognise the diversity of its school community.  Staff and children care for and support one another, and it is this which makes me proud to part of the Bantock Primary School family.

Lynda Bamber, PiXL Primary Regional Leader

It has been a pleasure to work alongside the leadership team at Bantock Primary for the last 10 years. As part of the PiXL network of over 1200 Primary schools, we frequently ask them to share their inspirational practice at National Conferences and also through direct support to other school leaders. One of the many things that makes Bantock special is that the school has a deep understanding of their school community and, with that insight, they go to great lengths to ensure that ALL children at Bantock thrive and achieve their potential.

Paul Bellamy, Wider Learning

Bantock Primary is a vibrant, welcoming, and forward thinking school, with high expectations of all of the children, as well as of those who work to support them.

As a partner organisation working with Bantock to train Digital Ambassadors and Activity Leaders, it is heartening to see the value and emphasis that is placed on developing inquisitive, respectful and resilient pupils who are able to take on responsibilities and thrive.

Working here feels like a real partnership, honest and refreshingly challenging, aimed at constantly providing the best for everyone involved.
