Our History
Springfield Primary School is situated on a spacious site in Barton Road, Tilehurst. Opened in 1969, Springfield has grown into a thriving school with a reputation for excellence. We currently have 326 pupils on roll, from Nursery to Year 6.
As a school we aim to encourage curiosity, interest and enquiry, encouraging a lifelong love of learning. The school motto is 'Born Curious, Stay Curious'.
The school has large, bright classrooms and extensive school grounds, including a wooded environmental area, a ‘fairy den’, a pond, a running track, a large field, play equipment and the Forest School copse. This area includes a fire pit which is used regularly for cooking and a range of wooden play equipment for imaginative play and the development of gross motor skills. We incorporate forest school principals into our teaching and learning for all year groups.
Our Year 6 pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education at Key Stage 3 moving on to local secondary schools such as Little Heath, Denefield and Theale Green.
