Lorraine Infant School

The school has an interesting history as it was built on part of the site of a Free French Camp established during the 2nd World War. General de Gaulle visited the camp on many occasions and was frequently seen in Camberley. He later gave his permission for the school to bear the name of 'Lorraine' from the French 'Cross of Lorraine'. In June 2005 surviving members of the Free French Lorraine 342 Squadron visited Camberley and presented a plaque to the school, which can be found in our hall.

The school consists of specialist Early Years Foundation Stage units and several Key Stage 1 teaching areas. The Foundation Stage garden is designed and resourced to support all areas of children's early development. Our Key Stage 1 outdoor learning environment has climbing equipment, an outdoor theatre, a MUGA sports pitch, a large playground, trim trail and field area. In addition, we are very fortunate to have a wonderful nature garden with a pond, minibeast area, flower and vegetable gardens, meadow area and raised sensory beds.
