School Info
Welcome to Saxon School

Saxon Primary is a designated two-form entry primary school in Shepperton. Due to our popularity, in September 2015 we were asked to expand from a one-form to a two-form entry school; and now we have two classes per year group.
We are a friendly community school, small enough to ensure that everyone knows each other but big enough to be able to offer children a wide range of different opportunities. Saxon is approximately 10 minutes' walk away from Shepperton High Street, set in a quiet residential area in Briar Road.
In June 2013, as a result of the strength of our provision and leadership, we were designated by the Department for Education as a sponsor school and in September 2013 accredited by the National College for Teaching & Leadership as a National Support School. These accreditations enable us to formally support other schools in our local area and we are delighted to be working with The Echelford Primary and Riverbridge Primary in this context. Our support for other schools is enhanced by the experience and skills of a number of our team; we have 5 accredited Specialist Leaders of Education on the teaching team and our Executive Principal, Mrs. M.E. McCarthy is a National Leader of Education and a school inspector.
Saxon School is on a large site with four playgrounds, a trim trail, a 5-acre playing field and its own swimming pool. We are a feeder school for Thamesmead Secondary where the great majority of our children move onto after Year 6. Consequently we enjoy close links with this school and strive to make sure the transition out of Saxon is as smooth as possible.
We are also lucky enough to enjoy having Saxon Sure Start Family Centre on site which supports families with children aged from 0-11 years in many ways. Surrey Family Centres offer targeted services, support and advice for families with children. Spelthorne Borough has two main family centres - Stanwell Family Centre which covers the Stanwell area, and Clarendon Family Centre in Ashford, which covers the rest of Spelthorne. Clarendon staff are based across three sites - Clarendon, Buckland & Saxon and services are offered to families on an appointment only basis, or by a referral from another agency. Families with concerns may contact Clarendon and Stanwell Family Centres directly for advice and support. For more information please visit https://www.stanwellfamilycentre.org.uk/ or https://clarendonfamilycentre.co.uk/
Saxon Primary has a thriving parents' association who put on exciting events throughout the year for the pupils and the parents. Parent partnership is high on the agenda in Saxon Primary School where we believe that children reach their full potential in an environment where school and home work in close partnership.
The website is something of a 'window' into our world here at Saxon and we hope you enjoy it. The weekly newsletters in our News section found via the Parents tab give a particular insight into the life of the school.
However, nothing can match first-hand experience - so come and see us! Ring the school office on 01932 563035 who will be able to make an appointment for you. We have four Open Morning dates throughout the year, see the Open Days section of the website for details.
