Crownfield Infant School

I can tell you so many things that I think are wonderful about our school, but would encourage you to make a visit and see for yourself! I hope that  if you are a new parent and considering sending your child to our school, this website will give you an insight into our work and values. For our existing parents, I do hope this website will prove a useful way in keeping you up-to-date with what is happening in school and will provide information and advice, continually strengthening our very important home/school Partnership.
