Welcome to The Southwater Infant Academy!

We believe children learn in response to the environment in which they find themselves and to the adults whom they encounter. We provide learning opportunities in attractive surroundings, led by a highly professional and dedicated team of teachers, support staff and trustees. We care deeply for the development of each individual child and put your child at the centre of all we do.

Our vision, 'Growing, Learning and Succeeding Together', permeates all aspects of school life. Ofsted recently recognised:

🌳 "The school's extensive grounds, including its woodland provision, are used effectively to enhance learning."

💚 "Pupils are polite and respectful, building positive relationships. They are kind and supportive towards one another."

✨ "Pupils enjoy their learning here. They know that staff provide different types of support to help them."

🛡️ "Pupils feel safe at school and demonstrate a secure understanding of how to keep themselves safe."

What our families say

Our families tell us this approach makes a real difference. In our parent survey, 96% of parents agreed that we successfully support their child's personal development in areas such as confidence, resilience and understanding right and wrong. Every single parent who responded felt confident that our staff know their child and understand their individual needs, and 96% agreed that we provide a high-quality education.
