Infant School tours for new reception parents/carers for September 2025 entry

We would be delighted to welcome you to tour our Infant school if you have a child due to start Reception in September 2025.

The tours will be on the following days, all at 9.15 am.
Tuesday 1st October, Monday 7th October, Wednesday 16th October and Thursday 7th November.

Please contact the Infant School Office to book your place.

If your child is not in our Infant School and you would like to tour the Junior School for September 2025, please contact the Junior office.

Welcome to the website of the Toftwood Infant and Junior School Federation.

We hope you will find the information on our website useful when choosing a school for your child, looking for information because your child attends our school or if you are just looking!

Parents and Carers are lucky to have a range of good schools to choose from in our area, and you will know what is right for your child. We warmly welcome visits now and if you are trying to make a decision about a school for your child, please ring the relevant office to make an appointment. We like to show visitors around in the mornings where you can get a feel for the school and see the children learning and interacting. We are proud of the education and care we provide for our children and look forward to sharing this with you.

We work as one school community from ages 4-11, using the skills and expertise of all of our staff for the benefit of the children and families in our federation. We are a three form entry school, so there are lots of opportunities to have many exciting and engaging experiences for the children as well as high quality learning experiences. Please do look at our website to see a flavour of what we can offer your child and family, or contact us if you have any questions at all. We ensure we have visitors to extend the children's learning, sports' competitions, family events and educational visits.

Full details of our curriculum can be found on our website. We continually review it to ensure the children's learning builds over time and that they leave us with the necessary skills and knowledge to be successful in their next steps in education and in life. We also share the learning in our lessons on the website and with our families via dojo (Years 1-6) and tapestry (Reception).

We also have a twitter feed which is @ToftwoodFedera1 and we share information for parents and carers on here on a regular basis. Please do sign up to it so you don't miss out.

With very best wishes
Joanna Pedlow
(Executive Headteacher)

Infant School Feedback

Toftwood Infants and all of the staff have cultivated an environment in which my child is constantly learning and is excited to do so. They are always happy to go into school and are curious as to what the next day will offer. This is all thanks to an incredible staff team that clearly put the children first and I love seeing how happy my child is about every day when I pick them up.

Thank you for everything which you have done with our child this year to help them make the progress and enthusiasm with learning this year. Thank you for the extra phone calls or messages on dojo this year when they have excelled in an specific area this year, that really goes noticed as it’s often in your extra time (after the children leave). Every day without fail they come home and explain something exciting that has happened - which I think is absolutely wonderful to see. I hope you all have a wonderful summer and a well deserved rest. Thank you teachers and TAs for making our child’s year a special experience!!

I would like to thank my child’s teacher for their care and dedication. You have made a difference in our lives, seeing them today makes us very happy parents. Thank you to everyone in general for taking such good care and dedicating your lives to teaching and providing conditions for a bright future for our children. God bless you all.

Thank you for all your hard work. My child has had a fantastic start to school!

Thank you, I’m pleased with the report.

My child has made a brilliant start and we are so proud of the progress they have made.

Wanted to pass my thanks to my child’s teacher. They have loved their time in school. Very happy with the report.

My child has had a great first year in school. Thank you for supporting them.

Thank you for everything you have done for my child. They absolutely love school.

It's fantastic to see the difference in my child. They have been keen to go school and the difference in their confidence, capabilities and mannerisms have made me so proud. Thank you

Thank you for the lovely and detailed report of my child’s year. They have had the best year, with in their words at home "my beautiful teacher". They speak so highly of their time at school.
