Firle School

Welcome to the website for Firle Church of England Primary School

Firle is a small Church of England primary school which has been educating children from the ages of 4 to 11 since 1845. Housed in the original building shown above as well as newly refurbished mobile classrooms, the school has extensive grounds and access to a local Nature Reserve, allotments and the South Downs. Dedicated staff, supportive parents, a vibrant community and, of course, fantastic children combine to make ours a successful school and enable us to implement our philosophy.

We hope that you can find all the information here that you need about the school and especially welcome parents of children looking for Reception places in September 2012. Please contact the school on 01273 858260 to arrange a visit.

A modern education in a caring, Christian and family-orientated village school.

Our Aims

• For all children to be given a strong Christian foundation in their ethical and spiritual life.
• For children to experience a broad and exciting curriculum that fosters creativity, independence and a passion for learning that continues throughout their lives.
• For children to learn to value and respect themselves and others as individuals with equal rights and responsibilities.
• For children to be inspired by the environment in which they live and learn and to become stewards of it.
• For children to be fit and healthy in body, mind and spirit.

Our Values

Everyone in school will strive to: -

• Be friendly

• Respect self and others
• Take responsibility for their own actions

Through these values we expect to have a safe and happy school in which every child can learn free from bullying or prejudice.
