Fitzmaurice Primary School

Fitzmaurice School has always been part of the local community and was established in 1928.  The school has evolved over the years into a vibrant, modern community with the aim of achieving ‘Excellence and Enjoyment for All.’

The school is in the southern half of the town, close to Barton Country Park and with easy access on foot to the canal, river and leisure facilities of Bradford-on-Avon.

In 2004 the school was significantly refurbished, to include three classrooms, a new ICT suite and admin area. This was followed shortly afterwards by two further new classrooms, and a staffroom to replace old temporary accommodation.

In 2006 the improvements to the fabric of the building continued, with the completion of a “link” to unify the two separate blocks.  This has had a tremendous impact on the day to day operation of the school, with nobody having to brave the elements to get from one part of the building to another.

In 2007 work began on the construction of Bradford on Avon’s Children’s Centre on Fitzmaurice’s site.  This serves the whole Bradford on Avon community area and is governed by the school.  This lovely new building opened in the summer of 2008, with Tiddlywinks Nursery now occupying the major part of the building.  The Children’s Centre is building up the services it offers to pre-school children and their families.

We are currently in the planning phase for major refurbishment of our hall and kitchen – another exciting project!  We are totally committed to all building work undertaken being sustainable.

Meanwhile we continue our drive to develop our extensive grounds, with an increasing number of activity zones for the children.
