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
www.eastbrentfirstschool.co.uk
It is also linked to the Cheddar Valley Schools Website. |

| Press Release
Avon and Somerset
Constabulary Illuminate Schools
With the safety of our
youngest members of the community in mind PC Tracey STILES and her
colleagues at Burnham and Cheddar Police Station have been able to
support local schools by supplying them with high visibility vests to be
worn by children when they are engaged in activities outside school.
PC Stiles of the
Burnham Team said, "1300 vests have been distributed to all our local
schools so that whenever the children are walking near roads, they can
be clearly seen. I think this will help everyone to appreciate how
dangerous our roads can be to young people and at the same time
highlight the importance of road safety to all children. It has been a
difficult project to manage such a large number of resources, but I
believe it is well worth it"
PCSO Sara England who
has helped in distributing the vests said," I think this is a really
good way that our local police team can demonstrate how we work within
the community to ensure as many people are as safe as possible whenever
possible. The children have told us they are always really pleased to
see us and look forward to wearing the vests as soon as possible. I
think this will make a real difference."
Councillor Burridge
Clayton said, When the Police approached me with their ideas I was more
then willing to offer contributions from the community fund as my focus
has been towards the young people of our town. This shows our commitment
to working in partnership to achieve projects such as this.
All the schools in the
Burnham and Cheddar Areas were presented with high visibility vest by
Avon and Somerset Constabulary and Cllr Peter Burridge-Clayton.
The costs of the
providing of the vests have been met by contributions by County
Councillor Peter Burridge Clayton and the Avon and Somerset
Constabulary.
