Singleton
C.E.
Primary School
is a happy and caring
community in which good
manners, excellent behaviour
and a desire to continuously
improve and learn are
expected from everybody. We
are a
Church
of
England School
teaching Christian values
and beliefs. We also promote
awareness and tolerance of,
and respect for other
religions and cultures.
"This school continues to be good. There are very high expectations of pupils’ personal responsibility for their own conduct. Pupils meet these expectations, both in the classroom and in their social time."
Singleton CE Primary
School is set in a
unique beautiful
location, freefrom
noise, pollution and the
danger of main roads and
within the newly created
South Downs National
Park. The number of
children on roll is
usually less than 60 and
this means that staff
have a very personal
knowledge of every child
and there is a real
family atmosphere.
The school is a
"Voluntary Controlled"
School, which means that
the Church of England
maintains an active
interest in the school
whilst giving overall
control to the Local
Authority. Singleton
C.E. Primary School has
a high reputation for
its caring, inclusive
family ethos based on
Christian values.
The governors are all
actively involved in the
school's life. We are
also continually
grateful for the staunch
help given to us by the
parents and the wider
community.
If you are looking for a
small school that has a
care and concern for
children as individuals
together with a strong
family ethos, please do
not hesitate to get in
touch and arrange a
visit. We look forward
to seeing you.
We hope you will find
the information
contained in this
website both helpful and

SCHOOL ACHIEVES TOP GRADE IN RECENT CHURCH OF ENGLAND SIAMS INSPECTION
Singleton C.E. Primary School is proud to announce that it has been awarded an outstanding grade by Church of England SIAMS inspectors for the positive impact its Christian ethos has on pupils, following an inspection in January.
All Church of England schools are inspected every three to five years to evaluate the effectiveness of their Christian approach, and this result represents a further improvement from the previous inspection outcome.The Diocese of Chichester inspector examined how well the school met the needs of each child, how whole-school worship made an impact on the school community and how effective the school’s leadership and management was in enriching its church school status.In all three areas the school was judged to be outstanding.
She was particularly impressed by the vision of the leadership team, the eagerness of the children to demonstrate Christian values and the caring attitude of staff, saying, “The school’s unequivocal Christian ethos, founded on the love of God and an understanding of the life of Jesus, is underpinned by explicit Christian values weaved seamlessly into the daily life of the school.”The strength of the whole staff team was celebrated in the report, describing “a collaborative culture that inspires and motivates the teaching team to ensure the school’s Christian character impacts decisively on the development of every child.”
“It is wonderful to receive such a fantastic acknowledgement of the work we have put into creating a school where Christian values are celebrated”, commented Singleton C of E Primary’s head teacher Christopher Todd.“I would particularly like to thank my wonderful team of staff who are such brilliant role models for our pupils, enabling each and every one of them to become successful human beings.”
