Welcome to the website of Stoke by Nayland Church of England Primary School and Nursery. We are a small yet thriving school in the heart of idyllic Constable Country.

At Stoke by Nayland, we combine a Christian ethos with ambitious academic expectations to provide an inclusive, nurturing and stimulating school environment for all of our children.

We take a holistic approach to develop each child academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually and each child is valued for their unique attributes. Children feel a sense of belonging as they become part of the Stoke by Nayland school family and are supported to become 'the best that they can be'.

Whether you are already a member of our school community, a prospective parent or an interested visitor, we hope that you find our website informative. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need any further information, and if you have not done so already, we invite you to come and see for yourself why Stoke by Nayland Primary School is such a special place.

Supporting Learning

Home Learning

All children are sent home with a home learning grid every half term. The home learning grid has a range of English, Maths and topic related learning tasks to complete. It is suggested that children complete at least 8 of the 16 activities over the course of the half term, but children can complete as many or as few as they feel able to. Grown ups sign the grid to acknowledge that the asks have been completed. In the last week of the half term, children are encouraged to bring back the signed grid with any completed tasks so that these can be celebrated.

In addition to the home learning grid, children are also encouraged to read their school reading book, practise their spellings and learn specific times tables/number facts.
