Nurturing hearts, inspiring minds, and achieving high standards! ✨📚

As Polesden Lacey Infant Academy expands into a full PRIMARY school, we’re so proud that our high academic ambitions will now support our children all the way through their primary journey! 🏫🌟

While our school is known for its warm, nurturing environment, we also hold big aspirations for every single child. We build strong foundations early on so that learning stays engaging, rewarding and successful as pupils grow.

Take a look at what our amazing pupils achieved this year:
⭐ 100% of our Year 1 pupils passed the phonics screening test! 📖🎉

This fantastic milestone sets our children up to be confident, excellent readers for life. And now, with our primary expansion, they get to build on these strong academic foundations right here with us for years to come. 💚

Thank you to our fantastic staff, pupils, and parents for working together to achieve such brilliant results!

📖 Give your child a summer filled with stories, progress, and confidence.

Summer is when reading often slips, and children can head back to school having lost ground.
