Why Midsomer Norton Primary School?
Midsomer Norton Primary has the feel of a village school but is situated in the heart of the town.
At our school your child will thrive. Our priority is your child’s mental health and wellbeing. We encourage our children to be knowledgeable, well-informed, resilient individuals who are empowered to contribute to society.
We are proud that our school is large enough to offer a wide range of activities but small enough that we hear each child's voice and understand their needs within education and life skills.
Midsomer Norton Primary School offers a broad curriculum from key subjects to forest school, specialised PE programmes and drama lessons. We also provide a variety of afterschool and lunch clubs including football, dance, code breaking, gardening, netball and many more.
Our staff have a wealth of knowledge and fully embrace every child’s individuality. We are proud to offer an open door policy and encourage families to join our school community.
We understand that many families have a busy home/work life balance and the work day doesn’t always fit in with school hours. We are pleased to be able to offer our families the security of breakfast club from 7am and afterschool club until 6pm each day.
We understand that choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions parents and carers will make. We invite you to find out more about us by:
