We are dedicated to giving our children a happy, safe, inclusive environment which challenges discrimination and respects each others’ views and beliefs. 

Our philosophy of education is that every child should access a curriculum which is broad, balanced and fun so that every child is happy and confident for the next stage of their learning.

Our children are given opportunities to flourish academically and their results are consistently higher than Buckinghamshire and National averages. Fulmer Infant School is rated as an outstanding school. Please click here to see our OFSTED report dated November 2014.
