Stanton Primary School and Nursery is situated in the village of Stanton and is one of the larger primary schools in the area.

We serve a rural community with a mixture of families working locally or in the nearby town of Bury St Edmunds. The village also includes some Forces housing, and therefore our children come into our school with a whole variety of different experiences. As of January 2018, 25% of children are from forces families.

The school site includes our own school Nursery class not to be confused with the local pre-school. Our Nursery is an important part of our school and benefits from all the facilities and staff expertise found within the main school as well as providing a nurturing and caring start to a child’s learning journey.

Our school Nursery is open all day for children from the term after their third birthday. We can also provide wrap around care from 7.50 am until 6.00 pm everyday as well as a Nursery lunch club. The Nursery class is staffed by 2 qualified teachers and 2 Early Years Practitioners. It serves a wide rural community and not all the Nursery children go on to full-time education in our school. 

Our children enjoy coming to school (Ofsted May 2024). The children achieve well in our school and we invest in staff who support the learning of the individual.
