To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware Posters for AAW25

We have the opportunity for parents to visit Penbridge Infant School for a tour on Tuesday 3rd November and Wednesday 4th November at 10am. You will have a chance to see Year R classrooms and Year R's outside area. There will be the opportunity for questions on the day. Call the school office to arrange your session. There will be a limit of four parents per tour.

Making Learning Irresistible 

At Penbridge School we want children to be successful learners and develop a lifelong love of learning. We teach the skills they need to be effective learners and the language they need to express how they can become successful across all areas of the curriculum.

We know that children are naturally inquisitive and we aim to develop this curiosity by providing a curriculum that engages and excites but also provides challenge at the correct level.

Our Values

Ethos & Values
Love Learning for Life

Our vision is that every child will ‘Love Learning for Life’.
This means that every day is an opportunity to learn something new that children will take forward into the next step of their learning journey.

Transforming Life Chances

We are part of the ‘Thinking School Academy Trust’ which means that we work on memory and retrieval skills so that children make links between different areas of learning. We follow an ‘all through’ model where the children go on to The Portsmouth Academy.

A Cognitive Approach to Education

As part of our curriculum we utilise the Thinking School approach. Thinking Hats, Maps and Keys are all used in daily teaching and we firmly believe this approach teachers our pupils skills they need to achieve their goals.
