Growing, Learning and Succeeding Together

Welcome to The Southwater Infant Academy!

Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision, and we are proud to offer a warm, nurturing environment where every child is known, valued and encouraged to thrive.

At The Southwater Infant Academy, we believe children learn best when they feel happy, safe and inspired. Our dedicated team of teachers, support staff and trustees work together to create exciting learning opportunities, build strong relationships and help every child develop confidence, curiosity and a love of learning.

Our vision, "Growing, Learning and Succeeding Together", is at the heart of everything we do. We place children at the centre of school life, supporting them to achieve their best academically, socially and emotionally.

Ofsted recognised many of the things that make our school special, noting that:

"The school's extensive grounds, including its woodland provision, are used effectively to enhance learning."

"Pupils are polite and respectful, building positive relationships. They are kind and supportive towards one another."

"Pupils enjoy their learning here. They know that staff provide different types of support to help them."

"Pupils feel safe at school and demonstrate a secure understanding of how to keep themselves safe."

🌧💨 Parking Promise - Thank You EYFS Families! 💨🌧 It was a particularly wet and windy morning, so a huge thank you to all our EYFS families who took the time to sign our Parking Promise and collect their child's parking permit. By working together, we can help keep all of our children, families and neighbours safe during drop-off and pick-up times. 🚗 A reminder of our Parking Promise: If driving is unavoidable, please park in Lintot Square or another safe location away from the academy. Please do not use residents' parking spaces or driveways. The staff car park is not for use at any time by parents or carers, including those attending Kids-Like-Us, Southwater Preschool or academy clubs. This area is reserved for staff and disabled drivers to ensure everyone's safety. Please walk on the path at all times! If using the lay-by outside the academy, please park considerately and leave a clear lane for traffic to move through. Never park outside the academy gate. This is an emergency access point and must remain clear at all times. Please do not park on pavements, corners or zig-zag lines. These areas are essential for keeping our children safe. Respect our neighbours by ensuring driveways, garages and parking spaces are not blocked or used. Keep children with you at all times, use designated paths, and ensure scooters and bikes are walked whilst on the academy site. 🚶🛴🚲 Walk, scoot, skate or cycle whenever possible! Thank you for supporting our community and helping to make the journey to and from school safer for everyone. #parkingpromise #southwaterinfantacademy #keepingchildrensafe #TravelSmart
