WHY CHOOSE FENSTANTON
At Fenstanton Primary School, we are proud to be a safe, inclusive and ambitious community where every child is known, valued and supported to thrive. Families choose our school because we offer a nurturing environment, strong teaching and a genuine commitment to helping every child grow academically, socially and emotionally.
A warm, welcoming, and inclusive school.
We take time to get to know every child and every family. Building strong relationships is at the heart of our approach, and it helps our pupils feel secure, confident and ready to learn. Our inclusive ethos means we support pupils with additional needs, pupils who speak English as an additional language, and pupils from all backgrounds with care, understanding and high expectations.
Our curriculum helps children grow and succeed.
We have designed a well‑sequenced, engaging curriculum that builds secure foundations and inspires curiosity. Our teaching helps children develop confidence, independence and a love of learning. Pupils talk proudly about their progress and enjoy exploring new ideas across a broad range of subjects.
We prioritise kindness, respect and positive behaviour.
Fenstanton is known for its calm, friendly and respectful atmosphere. Our pupils treat one another with kindness, listen well and show pride in their school. They take on leadership roles, support their peers and help make our school a welcoming place for everyone. Our shared values – kindness, respect, nurture, aspiration and resilience – guide everything we do.
Our community partnerships enrich learning
We are deeply connected to our local community in Tulse Hill and across South London. Our partnerships give pupils rich opportunities to learn beyond the classroom and to see themselves as active, capable members of their community.

These relationships help us offer a broad, vibrant and enriching primary education.
