East Brent First School 

Pre-school news
Story Time for all children aged between 0-4


 

 
 

The year 2011 is the school's 170th anniversary.
If any past pupils would be prepared to come into the school to share their memories, they would be more than welcome!


 

Our East Brent School was first established in 1841 as a Church of England National School to convey the 3R's and scriptures to the poorer children in the area.

In 1976 it became a First School and now admits children of between 4 and 9 years of age. It is a Voluntary controlled school, which means the Church of England is represented on the Governing body and close links are maintained with St. Mary's Church.
There is also a pre-school group which is run mornings Mon-Fri during term time.
School Website
The school currently has a superb informative web site where you can find the latest news and updates on school activities etc.

It is also linked to the Cheddar Valley Schools Website.

Could you help our children to set up a their school garden?

We are hoping to plant fruit trees to make our healthy eating initiative more sustainable.
Is there a volunteer (or more than one) who could help us to plant them, subject to criminals record bureau enhanced disclosure, and someone to help us design and plant our bio-diversity wildlife garden and a 'kitchen' garden?

"The Pre School Children had a visit from the Police and 2 Police sniffer dogs last week.  They were given a safety talk and then the 2 dogs demonstrated some sniffing skills outside, they sniffed out some balls that were hidden around the playground. Children (and staff!) then enjoyed trying on the police hats!

 

 

The Pre-School are always welcoming new families to come and have a look around, they take children from 2years old. For any further information please call Emma on 07849062469"
