positive about themselves and be caring towards one another.

West Bridgford Infant School  

The school was built in 1902 and officially opened on May 1st by Lord Belper. 

The first children started on August 25^th of that year.  Originally, it was 2

separate schools with 2 Headteachers.  The juniors were upstairs and the

infants were on the ground floor. The current building was situated between

the original Musters Road Board School (where the Health Centre now

stands) and the railway line (now housing on Avon Gardens). 

  

After 37 years Musters Road School, as it was known,

became a school for infant children only. 

 

In 2002, the school celebrated its centenary!

 

West Bridgford is a popular residential area in the

southern outskirts of Nottingham

and has good recreational and shopping 

facilities with easy access to the city.

  

The children are organised in 3 Year 1 classes,

3 Year 2 classes and 3 Foundation Stage 2 classes.

 

The school aims to provide a caring, stimulating environment. 

Emphasis is put on the development of positive self-image,

encouragement of co-operation, decision-making and

understanding the needs of others.  Children are encouraged

to become self-disciplined and well motivated.

 

The school seeks to provide and promote a balanced curriculum,

which fosters skills and attitudes to learning which will enable

children to become independent, solve problems, gain knowledge

and develop attitudes and values within a climate of respect for

individuality.

 

The school encourages parental involvement in children’s learning. 

Parental involvement in all aspects of school life is encouraged. 

There is a thriving Home School Association which works hard

on the school’s behalf to raise money, organise social events

and help in school in a variety of ways.

 

At the age of 7+ the children move to the West Bridgford  

Junior School and to the West Bridgford School for the

Secondary phase of their education – links are being

developed across the family of schools.  The Headteachers

and staff meet regularly to develop aspects of liaison.
