‘A Quality Education

for a Lifetime of Opportunities’

Broad Hinton Church of England Primary School is a village school situated in a favourable
rural area a few miles south-west of Swindon. We were founded in 1743 by Thomas
Bennet and taken over by the LEA about 100 years later.
Over recent years we have extended our facilities to accommodate four mixed-age
classes, a large hall where hot meals are served, a multi-purpose unit housing a pre-school
facility and a conservatory area for individual or small group teaching, including a multi-
sensory learning library for parents and carers to access resources for learning at home.
Everyone knows each other throughout the school, from the oldest to the very youngest,
staff, parents and children alike, giving us a warm family atmosphere. Our professional
and enthusiastic staff provide a safe and secure environment and a creative and
stimulating curriculum.
Due to family relocations, we are able to accept children in year groups
throughout the school and you are warmly invited to make
an appointment to visit us.
Please call Mrs E Floyd, Headteacher on 01793 731262 to arrange a time.
