Top Wallington Nursery
A special place at the heart of Collingwood school
Our youngest children are proud to be part of the Collingwood family and are very much part of the whole school. Our older pupils in the family from Years 5 and 6 love to come and spend time in our Nursery and regularly get involved in the fun learning that takes place – as role models in behaviour, they also set a fine example for our 3 and 4 year olds.

Wonderful, warm and supportive school. The children are not only taught academically but their wellbeing is put at the forefront. I would highly recommend this school.
My daughter has thrived in the school . She looks forward to going to school and enjoys all the facilities the school offers. Teachers are great and provide a great environment for the children.
Brilliant school. My son looks forward to going every day and is eager to go back after the holidays and asks why there isn’t school on the weekends! He has grown in confidence so much and is doing well.
The school is very friendly and open. Everyone looks out for each other and are so well mannered. Am glad we picked it!
Our daughter has settled really well into the school. We were anxious about schools and looked into a few but Collingwood ticked all our boxes. The teachers are amazing and it shows in the pupils who attend the school.
Polite and respectful yet confident too. All the staff are so supportive and it’s great having a Head Teacher who is approachable to both students and Parents.
