Headteacher's welcome - Mrs Kelly Butt
Welcome to Brinkworth Earl Danby’s CE Primary School, a warm and faith-centred community located in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. Our school lies in the villages of Brinkworth and Dauntsey, equidistant between Malmesbury and Royal Wootton Bassett, and is easily accessible from Lyneham, Chippenham, and Hullavington.
Brinkworth Earl Danby’s is a loving school where every child belongs, is recognised, respected, and fostered to flourish. Children are at the heart of all we do, with their spiritual development central to our vision. We are committed to working in partnership with all of our families and the wider community, including the Parish of St Michael & All Angels, Brinkworth, and St James the Great, Dauntsey.
Rooted in our core Christian values – friendship, trust, thankfulness, perseverance, courage, and respect – and inspired by Ephesians 3:17, “Roots will grow down into God’s love and keep us strong,” we nurture resilience, compassion, and a love of learning and personal growth through teaching, worship, and reflection. Our school motto, ‘Believe to Achieve’, reflects our commitment to helping every child reach their God-given potential and grow in faith and character, preparing them for life with ambition, purpose, and connection.
Our mission is clear: “To provide a secure, happy and stimulating learning environment where EVERYONE is valued, spiritual growth is nurtured and potential maximised.”
Our School has been graded "Good" by Ofsted. The latest 2024 inspection highlighted the family feel of the school, the increased emphasis on high-quality teaching, positive progress across the broad and enriching curriculum, and dedication to pupil wellbeing. As the new permanent Headteacher, I am excited to build on these strengths and support the future growth and success of our school.
Whether you are a prospective family, a current family, or a visitor, I hope this website gives you a sense of the warmth, ambition, and joy that define our school. We warmly invite you to visit us in person, meet our dedicated staff and incredible children, and see what makes Brinkworth Earl Danby’s such an exciting and special place to learn and grow.
