About Us
Welcome
Mrs. Sarah Cook Headteacher
Welcome to Furneux Pelham C of E Primary School.
Furneux Pelham school sits in the heart of the community in the village of Furneux Pelham. We are a small school, welcoming families -whether of faith or none – from the village and surrounding areas of Buntingford and Bishop’s Stortford. Our school is nurturing and welcoming; surrounded by beautiful, extensive grounds. I am proud to lead a happy, caring and inclusive school where all of our pupils feel valued, respected and safe. Our dedicated staff team are supportive and committed in working together to provide the best learning experience possible for all of our pupils.
Our vision is to open our pupils’ eyes to the world around them – enabling them to grow secure roots in their village school and community, whilst giving them the knowledge and skills to succeed in the wider world. Our pupils will love learning and be driven to achieve – they will believe that they can be the best versions of themselves, with no limits. Our pupils will be resilient individuals who appreciate the world and God’s gifts within it. The wings of faith support us to soar freely and flourish now, and in the future.
Please do come along and see the school for yourselves. We warmly welcome families to contact us to book a tour to see and experience what we have on offer.
We encourage you to browse our website to find out more about us or do get in touch by contacting the school office on 01279 777344 or via email at .
