A FANTASTIC SPORTS DAY ended with a Garrett House win. We are proud of our Snape sporty sporting family. You made us proud because you encouraged each other all the way.

WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL
Here we are having LEARNING FUN.
​At Snape we can have lots of learning adventures together because we get a chance to work with lots of different adults in small groups learning about things we've chosen to learn about.....you can't get that in a big school you see.We even do a Friday NEW SKILLS afternoon where we learn new things like how to look after pets and even how to make afternoon tea!
        
    HELLO, WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
"We are Snape Primary school; a small but perfectly formed village school in beautiful sunny Suffolk".
We are a happy school and believe that everybody (children and adults alike) should enjoy every day of precious living and learning together.We enable our children to make links with their learning and so we usually have themes to follow. You should be able to see our themes when you step into our classrooms. We also know that we all like learning about different things and that exciting things happen in our village, local community and our world too. They might be different to what we have planned but we aim to follow our curiosity so we might drop everything and go for a walk or change our learning direction if, for example, we have a British astronaut going into space just like Tim Peake.
We absolutely love reading at SNAPE. We'd like everybody to get the reading bug.We have just bought a lot of new books. I'm sure there'll be a book for YOU...come on in and find out. As Dr. Seuss says: 'The more that you read, the more things you know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go.'

                     ON A LEARNING ADVENTURE TOGETHER.....

Picture
Our children step into a learning adventure at Snape. Our team got together and all agreed that our children (and adults) should have:
A LOVE OF LEARNING         INDEPENDENCE                                         
ENTHUSIASM                            CONFIDENCE                    
RESILIENCE: READINESS TO FAIL+TRY AGAIN 

Here's a little bit about our very special village school. We are SNAPE so we would like Snape children to experience a true community school, being part of all that surrounds us.

 WE HAD A VISIT FROM BBC SUFFOLK'S LUKE DEAL WHO BROADCAST LIVE FROM OUR NEW CLASSROOM. READ ALL ABOUT IT IN THE PAPER BY FOLLOWING THE LINK BELOW:

Students, staff and villagers along with folk band The Young'uns opened the new classroom at Snape Primary School.
Suffolk folk festival patrons The Young’uns provided the soundtrack to a school’s special ceremony.
The group visited Snape Primary to share local tales in folk songs and help open a community funded classroom, which will allow the school’s 35 pupils to be taught across three classes and no longer have to use the hall.
Fundraising activities included a heritage weekend exhibiting the history of the school. 
Before the opening, parents and villagers turned out at the school and sang along with pupils, staff and Folk East patrons The Young’uns. 
Aldeburgh Music’s education officer Karen Dickman was there and said the event brightened up her afternoon.

​There are plenty of pictures on the website to give you a flavour of Snape school in action but it would be lovely to meet you in person. You can ring us on 01728 688373, speak to Mrs. Sam Phillips to book a visit and we'll be delighted to welcome you and show you around. You can meet our team and, more importantly see how we are getting on on our learning adventure together. We hope to see you see you soon....


​Do you know about our special school badge? Find out more here.......

Our school badge is the same as our Snape village sign you can see above. 
The Anglo-Saxon Ship seen in the top left quarter  refers to the Saxon burial-grounds along the Aldeburgh road. As you know there is A LOT of Anglo Saxon history here right on our door step- WOW!
The Monk is there because we used to have a  Benedictine Order in Snape, at the Priory of St. Mary. The remains of this Priory lie under the Chapel Fields and Abbey Farm Barn used to be part of that Priory.
The Bridge shown in the lower-left hand quarter was the old bridge, which was built in 1802 and demolished in 1960.
The Curlew symbolises Benjamin Britten's inspiration drawn from the stunning countryside around the River Alde.


​Our Snape Superstar Rules

Children are at the centre of our school-this is THEIR school.We work together to make it the best place to be.
We had a big school meeting and worked together with mixed classes to decide on how we wanted to treat each other. We came up with the
    SNAPE SUPER STAR RULES


​At the heart of our community


​We believe 'IT TAKES A WHOLE VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD'
We might be small (and perfectly formed) but we are part of a much larger community. We are proud to be part of Snape village. When we learn we learn not just with each other but with our community too. We read at coffee mornings, we take part in special services at the Church, we use our amazing surroundings like the woods and we learn from all ages when they visit us or we visit them.
