Mrs Kate Chenery- Headteacher

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am delighted to welcome you to the St Lawrence Church Of England primary school website. Making a choice about primary schools is one of the most important decisions that you will make for your children. With this in mind, I would like to introduce you to what is distinctive about our school. I hope that our website will give you a flavour of our children, our environment and our ethos.Our dedicated and talented team of staff is passionate about providing an engaging curriculum through a wide range of stimulating and creative learning experiences. We have high expectations for all children and believe  in nurturing a child’s natural curiosity and creating in them a life-long love  of learning. We provide a caring and supportive environment for our  children to thrive and for our parents to feel valued as part of our school community.

Hidden away in the centre of Chobham Village,  just behind the High Street and a short distance from the church of St Lawrence, the school benefits from extensive grounds, open space and our own pool. Our outside areas provide stimulating and safe spaces for children to grow, learn and play - a rare and valuable resource and opportunity in our busy and changing world. 

I am so proud of our children, our vibrant community and our school. I hope that a sense of our passion for learning at St Lawrence is shared as you navigate through our website.

Coronavirus : We are following Government advice and the school is now closed. We are running childcare for children of key workers and those who are more vulnerable.

We will keep updating parents and carers via Parentmail, this website and letters. Work packs have been sent home with every child and the class pages on this website will be updated with further work and useful links. 

Thank you for all of your support. We will be communicating with you regularly and keeping you updated with any changes and developments.

Wishing you all good health .
