Headteacher's welcome
Here at Steeple Claydon School and Pre-school, our pupils are welcoming, polite and enthusiastic – they are all ‘Steeple Stars!’ We take pride in ensuring we provide them with a rich, creative and engaging learning journey from pre-school to year 6. We want our pupils to be high achievers; not only academically but also socially, emotionally, creatively and physically, as well as in the skills of being a lifelong learner.
Of course, we are only a part of your child’s life and so we are very keen to work closely with parents, families and the wider Steeple Claydon community to ensure every child’s needs are fully catered for and their potential is realised.

About Us
Rated ‘GOOD’ by OFSTED in May 2022, our school is in a semi-rural setting at the heart of the Claydons, within easy reach of Buckingham and the surrounding villages. We are a one-form entry school and have approximately 180 pupils ranging from 4 to 11 years old. We are also proud to run a thriving preschool onsite for children aged between 2 and 5 years old.
Safeguarding Intent
At Steeple Claydon School and Preschool, we are committed to providing an environment which is safe, and where the welfare of each child is of paramount importance. This will include a commitment to ensuring that all pupils feel confident that any concerns they may have will be listened to and acted upon.
What policies and procedures do we have in place?
The school’s Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy can be found below. It outlines the systems we have in place to ensure that all members of our community are aware of the importance of safeguarding and child protection. Additionally, it makes clear the responsibilities for identifying and reporting issues, and how they are then dealt with.
