About our School

Yaxley Infant School is situated in the large and pleasant village of Yaxley, five miles from Peterborough and just two miles from the A1 motorway.

The school was opened in 1973 and has undergone extensive improvements to make it the spacious, pleasant open plan learning environment it is today.

The school serves the area south of Broadway and has a PAN of 180. It operates a flexible class structure designed to best meet the needs of the local

community.

The school is set in attractive secure grounds with an outdoor classroom, conservation area, trim trail and quiet seating area.

At Yaxley Infant School we place a high emphasis on children’s happiness and well-being with a focus on social and emotional aspects of learning as well as

academic progress, aiming to meet the needs of the whole learner.

We offer a highly creative curriculum with an emphasis on fun and enjoyment coupled with high expectations and standards of attainment.

"From a broadly average starting point, pupils achieve standards which are

above those expected for their age by the time they leave school" OFSTED

Partnerships with parents and links with the community are very important to us as are opportunities for children to develop a range of skills and interests

beyond the curriculum eg. languages, gardening, music, soccer, art and dance.

We offer support and activities for families through our Family Link Workers and parents/carers are welcome to attend coffee mornings, drop-ins, homework club, Family SEAL.

The school has a strong team of highly skilled and dedicated teachers and support staff who are committed to the school and its development.

"Adults 'go the extra mile' to make sure everyone feels happy, valued, well

cared for and respected." OFSTED
