Are you in the process of looking for the right primary school for your reception-aged child?

We are open for tours, please contact the office. For further information, see our admissions page.

Our After School Club runs everyday from 3.15pm until 6pm.

The club is supervised by members of staff from our school. The children receive healthy snacks and drinks and are involved in a range of exciting activities.

Pupils throughout the school have consistently good attitudes to learning and they work hard. They respect their teachers highly and say that learning is exciting.

Staff have responded positively to the much higher expectations and were quick to tell the inspector about their pride in working at Cogenhoe and about the successes they are achieving together.

Pupils wear their uniform with pride and are very supportive of each other.

Book your child's place for Forest School Easter Camp on 28th March via School Money!

And so the adventure begins!

Welcome to Cogenhoe’s Reception & Pre-School provision

At Cogenhoe Primary School we intend for all of our pupils to be independent, well-rounded, curious individuals who embrace risk taking. Within our exceptional Early Years setting, we prioritise children’s social and emotional well-being above all else, as without this, the intention of instilling a life-long love of learning and endless amounts of courage and confidence would not be possible.

Our staff hold the same shared belief that all children have their preferred way of learning. Therefore, we do not believe that every child should fit the curriculum; the curriculum should fit every child. We pride ourselves on ensuring that our themed curriculum captures every child’s imagination and brings it to life the way they see it; engaging with their personal interests effortlessly inspires and motivates every child to achieve their true potential.

Our wonderful Pre-School is an educational setting within our Primary school, offering high quality learning opportunities for children. Our Pre-School enables a smooth transition into your child’s first few years of school life. We believe that high quality learning and teaching is the entitlement of all children and should meet all children’s identified needs and interests to ensure that they learn and develop in all of the prime areas. We acknowledge that all children learn at different rates and are each at their individual stage of development. Children learn best when they are happy, secure and actively involved in their own learning. At Cogenhoe, we have a number of ‘Curricular Goals’ which we will strive for the children to understand and secure by the end of the year.

Please see the ‘Prospective Parent’ page for our open days, where we invite you to come and see the magic for yourselves. Individual tours can be arranged, please speak to office on 01604 890380 or email us at [email protected]

Welcome!

Firstly, a warm welcome to EYFS! We are excited to have your child join us and look forward to a wonderful year ahead.

We wanted to share some key information regarding our weekly activities and important reminders:

  • Forest School: This will take place every Monday. The school will provide waterproof overalls, but please ensure your child has a pair of labelled wellington boots. These can either be kept at school or brought in on Mondays. As we move into the colder months, please ensure your child is dressed warmly for outdoor activities.
  • Book and a Biscuit: Every Wednesday, from 8:45 am to 9:00 am, we invite you to join your child in the classroom to share a book and a biscuit. It’s a lovely opportunity to spend some time together and foster a love of reading.
  • PE: PE lessons will be held every Thursday. Ideally, PE kits should remain at school throughout the term and will be sent home at the end of each term for washing. Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled to avoid any mix-ups.
  • Hot Dinners: Please note that all hot dinners must be ordered by Wednesday of the previous week. This ensures that we can adequately prepare and cater for all students. If you have any questions about ordering hot dinners, please reach out to the office for assistance.
  • Nut-Free School: A gentle reminder that Cogenhoe is a no-nut school. This is to ensure the safety of children with severe allergies

Thank-you for your cooperation and support. We are excited to embark on this journey with you and your child!
