Welcome to our facilities and grounds
Here's a selection of photos to give you an insight into how our school environment enhances our daily school life. We have a warm and welcoming interior and a lovely outdoor setting that provides opportunities galore for exploring, learning and having fun.
All our facilities are available to hire at very reasonable rates.
Library
The library is at the heart of the school, a special space in which to enjoy books independently or with guidance.
School hall
The school hall plays host to a vast array of events including collective worship, dramatic productions, sport and events for parents. We have recently upgraded the audio-visual provision.
The IT suite
With one computer each in this dedicated suite, children at Saltford enjoy their computing lessons. The suite is complemented by additional iPad trolleys that can be used anywhere around the school.
Swimming pool
We are lucky to have our own swimming pool on site. This means no time or money is wasted in travelling to lessons at the public pool.
Dedicated music room
Our music room was fully refurbished in 2020, making a space that is both practical and inspiring.
Indoor learning
Outdoor learning
Playground
Endless choice for all types of play, supported by thoughtful playground art, challenging climbing frames and the provision of sheltered areas such as the beach hut and the ark. We have a "Playpod" which is full of resources for imaginative play and a "Huff 'n' Puff" shed that gives the children access to games equipment. There are separate, well-furnished play areas for younger pupils.
Outdoor sport
EYFS area
The Bug Room: we have created a room that is very different from other areas of the school. This is a quiet, calm, sensory room for our youngest children. We have a dark corner where the children can play with the light table, mood egg or simply snuggle up on cosy blankets and look at the stars and fish in the amazing bubble lamp. There is also a comfy corner with sensory blankets, seats and a range of exciting resources for the children to play with. As you can see from the photos the room is a big hit with the children.
Outdoor play: EYFS children have a dedicated play area full of choices, including a lovely bike track and a large sand pit.
Green space
Facilities for bikes and scooters
As part of our Active Travel initiative, we encourage pupils to walk, scoot or cycle to school.
