Parent Information
What parents do is more important than who parents are:
At Corsham Regis all the staff place a very high emphasis on successfully engaging with parents and the wider community. We recognise that good communication is much more than simply exchanging information. It is through effective and interactive communication that understanding is developed and shared, and trust is built. Good communication promotes partnership.
Please explore the links below which have been added specifically to help you learn more about Corsham Regis and what you can do to support the early development of your children.

Transfer to Secondary School
Corsham Regis Primary Academy is in the catchment area for The Corsham School (https://www.corsham.wilts.sch.uk/) and many of our children transfer to this school. Some parents choose to transfer their children to secondary schools in Chippenham or Bath.
Towards the end of their primary schooling, children have increased contact with secondary schools and during Year 6 children and parents have opportunities to visit their new school and meet key members of staff.
Accessibility
Our inclusion vision is for every pupil in our academy to achieve the most successful individual outcomes, educationally, socially, in their personal life, and within their local community, and for their unique needs to be recognised and met as early as possible. Our Accessibility Plan intends to achieve this vision by empowering these children and young people to achieve all that they can.
