Stockwell Infants School is a small, twoform entry school for Infants. It is situated on Stockwell Road between Stockwell and Brixton tube stations; and is also served by buses P5, 2, 322 and 345. The Infants School occupies the ground floor of a three storey, Victorian building shared with Stockwell Junior School. Security gates and video surveillance systems operate on site 24 hours a day. The Nursery is situated in a separate building within the school grounds and provides 100 parttime places. Children attend the Nursery from the age of three, providing that there is place available. It should be noted that there is no automatic right of transfer from the Nursery to fulltime school. Parents who wish their children to attend fulltime school make an application for a place in Reception. The present Head Teacher has been with the school for 26 years and endeavours to maintain a long term core staff to ensure stability within the school. The school aims for and achieves a secure and calm atmosphere which enables children and staff to work hard, learn effectively, feel happy, confident and valued. We have high standards for our children and expect them to work hard and cooperate with all adults and with each other. We endeavour to create an environment that nurtures and fosters awareness of the individual differences and needs of others. We beleive that children learn best when we build on what they already know and reflect upon and value the rich diversity of our community in the curriculum. We hope to provide a welcoming atmosphere throughout the building and a pleasant working environment for both pupils and staff. The children come mainly from local estates such as the Stockwell Park Estate and from homes on Stockwell Road and the surrounding streets. They come from a wide range of ethnic, cultural and economic backgrounds, including a well established AfroCaribbean community. West African, Vietnamese and British children attend along with an increasing number from the European Union, in particular from Portugal and Madeira.
