The Staff, Governors and Pupils welcome you to our school website. We hope that you will find it informative, engaging and interesting and that it provides you with an insight into our ethos and values. We aim to share with you, the organisation and the feel of our school with information about our curriculum, Staff, Governors, Friends of Sutton School as well as up to date events, learning and activities. 

Sutton VA Primary is a successful, happy and welcoming school. We care deeply for our children; their welfare and progress. The Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS), in their 2017 inspection stated ‘Pupils all enjoy school. They feel safe and attain well above the national average. Each child is known individually to all staff. Relationships are excellent and pupils enjoy opportunities to work in family groups or across the age range. Parents praise the school’s Christian character and family atmosphere.’

We are a popular and typically, oversubscribed school, attracting children and families from Biggleswade, Potton and the surrounding villages. Our provision for our pupils has a justifiably high reputation and consequently parents chose to send their children to our school from outside of their catchment area school. They are attracted to and support the strong values, Christian ethos and child centred approach which form the basis of our vision and aims.

We have 4 classes; a Reception Class, a mixed age Year 1 – 2 Class, a mixed age Year 3 – 4 Class and a Year 5 class. We complete our conversion to a Primary School from September 2025 with our first Year 6 Class. 

We enjoy strong, close links with All Saints' Church Sutton and the diocese of St Albans. Our pupils, from all faiths and none, benefit from the links we have and the opportunities we create to explore values, morals, faith and the time to reflect on what they and others consider important.

We provide a wide range of exciting learning experiences within our carefully planned, broad curriculum. Our school is positioned within in a wonderful setting where pupils have access to a range of outdoor areas within our grounds as well as easy access to local woodland. Staff consider outdoor and active learning to be beneficial to pupils’ physical, academic and mental wellbeing, as a result they seek opportunities to enable pupils to learn in a range of environments.

Children make good progress in all stages of the school, and the school is highly regarded. Typically, our results are above national averages. Further details can be found on our website.

Our school is well managed and has an established and excellent complement of teaching, non-teaching and administrative staff. Our Governing Body is active, supportive, experienced and committed to ensuring the school achieves its aims. Our school works within the BCUS Cluster of schools with whom we share expertise, resources and a shared vision for positive and smooth transitions between the phases of schooling.
