I am delighted on behalf of the staff and governors to introduce you to The Orchard Primary School.

On 1st January 2018 we became an academy and joined the Herts for Learning Multi Academy Trust. From September 1st 2019 the Trust  changed its name to Agora Learning Partnership.  For information about the trust please visit their website.

During the 2018-19 I become the Executive Head of both Alban Wood Primary School and Nursery and Orchard. This is an exciting change and we look forward to the years ahead, working in closer partnership with Alban Wood. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their ongoing support.

Please view our website for an overview of information about Orchard’s organisation, curriculum and regulations. It also gives an insight into the ethos, culture and character of Orchard, our values and expectations for each individual child.

Cooperation between staff, parents and governors is an important and vital means of ensuring positive growth and development for our children. For this to succeed, we strive to establish and maintain a good home-school partnership and welcome active involvement from parents in their children’s education and schooling.

The Orchard Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children: our child protection policy and procedures and safer recruitment practices are rigorously implemented.

Mr Sutton – Executive Headteacher
