Background:

Stubbins County Primary School has 'modern and spacious' premises which were built in three phases between 1968 and 1976. Set in 'extensive grounds in an area of natural beauty', the school aims to offer pupils a 'broad, balanced and coherent curriculum encompassing both the legal requirements of the national curriculum and a range of activities that the school feels is important to the development of its pupils'. The school also places a high value on the involvement of children and parents in activities outside the normal school day. The extra-curricular activities on offer range from recorder groups, technology club, green fingers (gardening) club, the school band and maypole dancing to more sports-orientated clubs such as netball, football, swimming , athletics and cricket. The school is keen to encourage links with local industry and business and both day trips and residential visits for older pupils are planned throughout the year. The school also offers peripatectic music lessons for brass instruments and woodwind (clarinet and flute). The school is proud of its 'relationship with the local community and of the reputation the school enjoys within it'.
