At Laburnum Primary School and Nursery, our aim is to provide your children with an exceptional, knowledge-rich curriculum that enables them to know and do more over time. Based in the heart of Sandy, our primary school and nursery offers an outstanding education, making us the perfect choice for your child to start their education.
Children can enter Laburnum Nursery at the beginning of the term that they become three years old. Parents who would like their child to be admitted to the school’s nursery should contact the school as soon as possible.
🏊♂️ Our annual swimming lessons are officially underway at Laburnum!
Come rain or shine, our pupils are making a splash, building confidence in the water, developing essential life skills, and having lots of fun along the way. 🌧️☀️
We are incredibly lucky to have our own school pool, giving every child the opportunity to develop their swimming skills in a familiar and supportive environment.
Swimming is such an important part of our curriculum, helping children stay active, safe, and healthy while creating wonderful memories with their classmates.
We can't wait to see the progress everyone makes over the coming weeks. Well done to all our young swimmers for taking part with enthusiasm and determination!

🌿🌎 Eco Day at Laburnum Primary School 🌎🌿
At the end of May, our pupils enjoyed a fantastic whole-school Eco Day, packed with activities to help us learn more about caring for our environment and appreciating the natural world.
We were delighted to welcome a visitor from The Wildlife Trust, who introduced us to the 30 Days Wild Challenge taking place throughout June. The challenge encourages everyone to spend just 10–20 minutes outdoors each day, connecting with nature through simple activities such as watching a sunrise or sunset, making flower crowns, pressing flowers, or cloud watching. There are lots more ideas available on the Wildlife Trust website. https://www.wildlifebcn.org/30dayswild
Our children embraced the eco theme across the day through a range of engaging activities. We became true Eco Warriors by litter picking around the school grounds and learning how to save energy at home and at school. Some classes planted seedlings, bedding plants and vegetables, helping to care for and improve our outdoor spaces.
Pupils also explored local wildlife, learned about habitats and biodiversity, and took part in creative nature-themed activities. Some classes even reused old milk bottles to make watering cans, demonstrating how everyday items can be given a new purpose.
It was a fun, hands-on and educational day for everyone, and a wonderful way to end the half term.
