Welcome
I am extremely proud to serve as the Headteacher of LMPS, a school that has been at the heart of our village community for the last 150 years. We understand how important it is that children feel that they belong with us and that they are developed to become the best that they possibly can be. Through our care and cooperation with parents / carers and other stakeholders, we support all children to ‘Thrive Together’: our school motto.
Our school consists of Lytchett Matravers Preschool and our main primary school: the buildings sit adjacent to each other on the same site. All learning spaces are purpose built and resourced to allow for appropriate development relative to the children’s stages of learning.
The main school has two classes per year group, with children admitted from aged 4-11 (Reception Year – Year 6).
We are extremely fortunate with our outdoor space. Preschool have multiple outdoor learning areas, including a bespoke space for physical development activities, a garden area, a mud kitchen and access to the forest school site. The school site also includes a large field, an orchard, a small woodland and direct access to a Multi-Use Sports Area.
Our school is part of the Hamwic Education Trust – a Multi Academy Trust based on the South Coast. We also belong to a group of ‘Pyramid’ schools that feed into our local secondary, Lytchett Minster School, as well as a collective of 7 schools that form the ‘Hillary Partnership’. Collaboration across these provisions enhances our practice and furthers the support that we are able to offer to our children.
Please do get in touch with us if you have any questions or would like to know more about our school. We offer regular tours of preschool and of the main school and would warmly welcome you to view education at LMPS in action.
