​Click on the link to listen to the wonderful Snape Song-Longboat Journey Through Time. We're sure you'll agree this is all about SNAPE and is centred around our school badge.
​The children spent a great day with Sean and David from the Young 'Uns who wrote and performed our very own song. Each class contributed with language and ideas. We are really touched by this and very very proud. It is perfect for us and what we believe our school stands for.
        Snape Song - Longboat Journey Through time
We'll sing you the story of Snape
See the watchful curlew climb
See Saxons, soldiers, suffragettes
On our longboat journey through time

Benedictine monks with robes as black as night
Hear the bells ringing, psalms they're singing 
Scribing holy words by flickering candlelight
On our longboat journey through time 

We'll sing you the story of Snape….

See our school being opened in 1905
Garrett sisters speak, women are not weak
The Suffragette movement is truly alive
On our longboat journey through time 

We'll sing you the story of Snape….

See brave, lost soldiers like Joseph Lee
In the First World War,  the horror they saw
A tragic moment of our history 
On our longboat journey through time 
We'll sing you the story of Snape….

And now we're back in Snape today
With the river Alde flowing, the tractors towing 
Many years we've been away
On our longboat journey through time 

Time travel is a thirsty game 
To The Golden Key, The Crown and The Plough & Sail
To the pubs of Snape our final aim
On our longboat journey through time 

We'll sing you the story of Snape….
On our longboat journey through time
On our longboat journey through time

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.
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.

                     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.


​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 these 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.
