Yattendon School
Yattendon is a great place to start your career in teaching. We pride ourselves in being a friendly, inclusive school and have a wealth of experience supporting teachers in their early careers.
We are a junior school catering for children aged 7 to 11. We have recently carried out extension refurbishment work and now provide a bright and attractive learning environment for our children.
Our children are extremely open, polite and welcoming of visitors. This means that all new joiners and visitors to the school quickly feel relaxed and welcome.
