Message from the Headteacher

Welcome to Cowley St Laurence Church of England Primary School!

At Cowley St Laurence, we are rooted in faith, learning with love, and committed to creating a bright future for every child. Inspired by our school vision, drawn from Jeremiah 29:11, we believe that God has a plan for each of us—a plan to prosper, to bring hope, and to build a promising future.

Whether you are a prospective parent, student, member of staff, governor, or part of our wider community, we warmly welcome you to our school website. We hope you find everything you need and discover more about the vibrant life of our school.

We pride ourselves on being a warm, inclusive, and friendly school that encourages strong partnerships with parents and our community. At Cowley St Laurence, every child is nurtured to grow in faith, develop a love of learning, and achieve their full potential within a secure, caring, and joyful environment.

As a Church of England Primary School, our Christian ethos underpins everything we do. Our new motto, Rooted in Faith – Learning with Love – Creating a Bright Future, reflects our commitment to the all-round development of every child—academically, spiritually, and emotionally. Together, we seek to grow in God’s love, act with kindness, and aim for excellence in all areas of life.

Our carefully designed curriculum balances national expectations with the unique needs of our community, ensuring that every child has opportunities to thrive and succeed. Education at Cowley St Laurence is not just about today; it is about laying the foundation for a lifelong journey of learning, character-building, and faith.

As part of the LDBS Frays Academy Trust, we are proud to work alongside other local primary schools—St Matthew’s C.E. Primary, Laurel Lane Primary, and St Martin’s C.E. Primary as well as 3 schools in Wokingham- Keep Hatch, Beechwood and All Saints. This partnership allows us to deliver high-quality teaching and learning, equipping all children with the best possible start to their educational journey.

Our Nursery is an integral part of our school, where the journey of faith and learning begins. We believe these early years are vital in helping children to flourish and develop a strong foundation for their future.

Thank you for visiting our website. We look forward to welcoming you in person and sharing more about our vision, values, and the wonderful community here at Cowley St Laurence.
