Comberton Primary School

What Comberton Primary School does

Comberton Primary School is a UK state-funded community primary school located on Borrington Road in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY10 3ED), serving children from Reception through Year 6, alongside an on-site nursery provision. The school delivers the full National Curriculum with a broad and balanced range of subjects — English, Maths, Science, Art, Computing, Design and Technology, Geography, History, Modern Foreign Languages, Music, PE, PSHRE, and Religious Education — supplemented by specialist programmes including a maths mastery approach delivered through the GLOW Maths Hub partnership since September 2023, SEND support coordinated by a dedicated SENCO, and on-site mental health provision via an NHS WEST project practitioner. The school also offers wraparound care services (breakfast club and after-school clubs) to support working families.

The school holds a 'Good' Ofsted rating awarded in January 2025 and operates under the motto 'A caring community for all to shine,' with stated values of Respect, Responsibility, Tolerance, Collaboration, Perseverance, and Determination. It is overseen by a board of governors, accountable to Worcestershire County Council as the maintaining local authority, and aligns its SEND provision with the Worcestershire 'Local Offer.' The school participates in additional safeguarding and welfare partnerships, including the NSPCC 'Speak out. Stay safe.' programme and references SENDIASS guidance for parents.

Commercially, Comberton operates as a non-fee-charging, government-funded educational provider. Revenue is generated exclusively through the state school funding formula allocated by Worcestershire County Council, with no commercial product/service sales and no tuition fees charged to families. Ancillary services such as school meals, breakfast club, and after-school activity clubs may carry modest charges, but core curriculum delivery is provided at no direct cost to households. There is no proprietary technology platform; core teaching is delivered in-person via standard UK primary school pedagogy using White Rose Maths and NCETM spine materials. The school markets itself through its website, a Facebook page, and weekly parent email updates.
