St Paul's Primary School Chippenham - Vision and Aims
Home About Us Vision and Aims Vision and Aims From the Headteacher, Mr Sheridan Upton I would like to welcome you to our website, which is intended to provide a short introduction to our school and what we have to offer. I hope you find it useful, but if you would like to visit or you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. We believe that effective learning takes place when children are happy and secure. We try to provide such an environment and make every effort to ensure that our children are well motivated and happy. Visitors often comment on the relaxed, friendly and cheerful atmosphere with which they are greeted. I believe this to be the outward reflection of the spirit of an active, constructive school and a reflection of St. Paul's strength and special character. Starting school is one of the great milestones in a person's life. We will make every effort to make your child's introduction to school life at St. Paul's as pleasant as possible. We value the good relationships we have developed between home, school and the local community. When all work in harmony, education can flourish - long may this partnership continue. I hope you find this useful. Sheridan Upton, Headteacher BA (Hons), PGCE Vision and Aims Vision and aims.pdf

A Treasury Grant was made of £776 towards the total cost of £1900. 255 boys and girls and 103 infants attended the school. Mr E Thurston was Head of the Boys Dept, Miss A Birkbeck Headmistress of the Girls and Miss M Snowden Head of the Infants. The annual budget was £113 per year; the Headmaster was paid £45, the Headmistress £30 and the Infants Headmistress £20 leaving just £18 for heating, lighting, equipment, furniture and cleaning.

Before moving to its current site at The Oaks in September 1973 the school existed on 2 premises - the main building was in Park Lane and the annexe was in Greenway Lane.Each building accommodated 3 years of infants and 1 year of first year juniors.
