Welcome
Although I can tell you what I believe makes Astwood Bank so special, look at the school through the eyes of the people who make it what it is – our pupils, staff and parents.
Our aim is to offer all pupils a broad and stimulating curriculum that recognises the importance of providing pupils with the basic skills of literacy and numeracy. We want the children in our care to sparkle, to reach their full potential and learn skills for life through a creative curriculum. We hope they will look back fondly with treasured memories of their time at Astwood Bank Primary School.

🔬 Y5 SCIENCE 🔬
Year 5 had a fantastic day of Science exploring the wonders of nature! 🌿🔬🌻
Students got up close with microscopes to investigate plant parts, identifying ovules and zooming in on anthers, and were thrilled to see real-life butterfly eggs up close 🦋🥚
A brilliant day of hands-on, microscopic discovery! 🔬
🐷🐑 ATTWELL FARM PARK 🐓🐮
Bringing our ‘Life Cycle’ topic to life! 🚜🌱 From learning about reptiles & bugs to feeding the friendly farm animals, Reception had the best day out on Monday 🌾🐮
The children were so brave in the creepy-crawly & reptile workshop, stroking stick insects, millipedes, geckos, and even a tarantula! 🕷️🦎 They also loved having gentle cuddles with the rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets 🐰
They rounded off the learning adventure by burning off some energy on the playground and soft play. A great time had by all! 🛝✨
💫 Y6 PERFORMANCE 💫
What a spectacular performance of Pantastic from our Year 6 leavers!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The sheer dedication, talent & confidence from every single pupil was awe-inspiring, and every staff member, parent & pupil were completely blown away 💨🤩 They took flight on stage and delivered a West End-worthy show! 🎭
We couldn’t be prouder of how they’ve grown, but it’s time to close the nursery window and fly off to new adventures in secondary school. The magic they brought to the stage will never be forgotten! 🧚♂️✨
As J.M. Barrie writes, “Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away, and going away means forgetting” - we hope you never forget this performance and their time at ABPS ✨
🍫 CADBURY WORLD 🍫
Year 2 had the sweetest visit to Cadbury World last Friday! 🍫✨ It was the perfect way to bring together all of their history learning about chocolate and the Cadbury family 📚
Even though it was a very hot day, the children were full of smiles, excitement and curiosity as they explored, discovered and enjoyed a very chocolatey adventure - mmm delicious! ☀️😋 They even got in the footy spirit! ⚽️🏴
What a fantastic way to celebrate all their hard work this term! 🌟
🏵️ HARVINGTON HALL 🏵️
What a splendid day Year 5 had pondering the halls of the Tudor spectacle that is Harvington Hall: a moated Manor house teeming with priest holes & plenty to explore! ✨
The children got to step back in time and examine some mysterious Tudor objects, got competitive whilst playing some Tudor games, practiced their best royal table manners in a Tudor kitchen, and honed their archery skills, ready to take on those pesky priest hunters if they come a’knocking! 🏹 They even got to check out some of the ingeniously hidden priest holes spread throughout the house!
A great day bringing our Tudor topic to life 👑
