Swindon primary school named best in country ‘absolutely buzzing’

Ms Phillips said it was the school’s philosophy to help build well-rounded human beings.

“We believe that as schools, we literally hold the future of society in our hands,” she said.

“We place as much emphasis on physical and mental health and happiness as we do on academic success.

“So we think holistically about education, and we’re normalizing those self care practices.”

“Childhood should be magical and memorable.”

In awarding the title, Tes paid tribute to the school as “a place of warmth, belonging and joy with a mission to ensure children thrive not just academically but as kind, confident, resilient individuals.”
