*******************************************************************

On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you to Ingatestone Infant School. I feel extremely proud and privileged to be the Headteacher and warmly welcome you to our school website.

We are a small village school where traditional learning is valued and enjoyed alongside a modern global educational experience. At Ingatestone Infant School we strive to provide the highest quality of education, so that children achieve to the very best of their ability as well as helping all our children become happy, confident and successful individuals.

One of our strengths is the strong partnership which exists between all members of the school community, pupils, staff, parents, governors and the local community. We strive to create a happy, friendly, safe and encouraging place where everyone feels welcome and valued; where children are inspired to learn; a place where achievement is expected and is celebrated; a place where all members of the school community care about each other and are kind to each other; a place where positive relationships are built and where success of all kinds is noticed so we can take pride in all that we do.

We are very lucky to have an extremely dedicated and supportive staff team who work hard to provide the best opportunities for all our pupils in a safe and happy school environment.  We aim to build the skills, knowledge and positive attitudes necessary to help all our pupils become responsible, respectful and tolerant citizens of the future.

At our school we aim to provide the best possible education in a friendly, secure and caring environment. We value the uniqueness of each child and seek to foster in them a love of learning, an appreciation of beauty and a consideration for others. It is impossible to convey the friendly, caring atmosphere of our school. The only way is to see it for yourself! So, if you would like to visit, require any additional information or have any queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Mr Neil Taggart

Executive Headteacher
