Welcome to Abbey Farm Educate Together Primary.

We are excited to open our new school in September 2022 to the first cohorts of Reception Class and Pre-school. As an experienced Headteacher, with 20 years in education, mostly spent in the Swindon area, I am excited to develop a new school.

Educate Together really did shine out to me as a school I could align with. The opportunity to work with an organisation fully supportive of an all-inclusive education could not be missed. Very simply, I want to create a thriving, caring, forward thinking new school that meets the core principles of Educate Together whilst having some unique Swindon elements, linked to our local community.

We are part of the Educate Together Academy Trust and as such, we are an equality-based school where we live by the mottos ‘no child an outsider’ and ‘learn together to live together’.

Our school celebrates diversity, individuality and respects each child’s identity and that of their family equally. This enables us to develop the whole child, encouraging all children to excel. Our unique ethical curriculum and our core principles enable us to create a nurturing learning environment which develops the skills children need to be global citizens for the increasingly diverse society in which we live.

Abbey Farm will work towards becoming a Rights Respecting School and this education is embedded in all interactions and explicitly taught. This supports and underpins our unique ethical Learn Together curriculum that is taught throughout the school.

Our vision for Abbey Farm ET Primary is to create a school where every child is valued, nurtured, developed to the best of their ability. An environment that is a holistic in approach and enables the children to continue their education upon leaving and develop into the very best that they wish to be.
Our core principles are:

• Equity- Based
• Aspirational
• Child – Centred
• Collaborative

We actively question whether what we do is for the children’s learning and welfare. We believe that a commitment to high academic standards is possible alongside a creative and ethical curriculum. The ‘Learn Together Curriculum’ is embedded in everything we do and integrated with the National Curriculum.

Our committed staff team strive to provide our children with the happiest and best education possible. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our school so that we can share our exciting learning environment and ethos whilst sharing our vision for Abbey Farm Educate Together.
