Geddington Church of England Primary School is set in a rural situation at the heart of this historical village. The school was established in 1849, but our present building was added to the Victorian hall in 1986 and has had further extensions added since that date. It consists of:
- a hall with safety flooring and wall mounted gymnastic apparatus
- seven fully equipped modern classrooms

- computer suite with 15 PCs and a data projector
- a well stocked library
- The Zone equipped with 6 computers, a quiet study area for group work and individual learning
- refurbished toilet and cloakroom facilities for each teaching area
- locker storage – Classes 3, 4 and 5
- covered safety play area for the Reception Class
- large tarmac playground, one area specially designed for younger children
- a sports field with a football pitch in the winter and an athletics track in the summer
- school garden (including Secret Garden and Wildlife Area)
- CCTV controlled entry to main entrance
- external security cameras and DVD recorder for out of hours surveillance
- gated entry to playground and classrooms
- easy access to St Mary Magdalene Church, Geddington and the centre of the village.
The Church plays an important part in the school life and is used regularly.
Home and School
The whole ethos of our school is founded upon mutual confidence and co-operation between home and school. We actively encourage a close partnership between home and school. For those parents who have the time there are many opportunities to help in our classes. We welcome and value this support.
Regular newsletters keep parents informed of school activities. A very active Parents’ Association contributes both to the school’s financial benefit and by organising social events.
Liaison begins before school age.
Children due to start, visit school on a weekly basis for half day sessions in the half term prior to admission.
Confidential interviews with parents to discuss their children’s progress are held three times a year. Parents are always welcome at school to discuss any concerns.
An Open Working Day is held during the Summer Term, when parents have the opportunity to see the School at work and KS1 performances take place.
The School Governors meet at least twice a term to review the administration of the school. The School Profile is issued annually.
Geddington School maintains a close liaison with senior schools to which Geddington children transfer.
