Crich Church of England Infant School

About our school

Crich C of E Infant School is a small village school situated on Bowns Hill in Crich.  It is a voluntary controlled Church of England School.  It is a co-educational day school funded by the authority.  The school was established in 1848.

We have approximately 55 children on roll between the ages of 4 and 7 years.  The children are organized into three classes:

• ‘Acorn Class’ - Reception children aged 4-5 years.
• 'Sapling Class' - Year 1 children aged 5-6.
• ‘Oak Class’ - Year 2 children aged 6-7 years.

We value excellent relationships with parents/carers.  Learning is a life-long experience and we value our partnership that we have with you in your child’s learning.  We have an open door policy and parents/carers are welcome into school at any time.  Many of our current parents/carers help with reading and classroom based activities.
