Newbold School is a private fee-paying primary school in Binfield, near Bracknell, Berkshire. The School is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church next to Newbold Seventh-day Adventist Church and Newbold College of Higher Education.[1] The School originally educated students up to the age of 16, pupils over 11 years of age were phased out in the 1970s.[1]

The School educates students from ages 3–11: Early Years, or Reception/Nursery: ages 3–4; Key Stage 1: Years 1–2, ages 5–7; and Key Stage 2: Years 3–6, ages 8–11.

Education and Faith

[edit]

Academically, the school is known particularly for music and drama, and the curriculum also includes humanities, science, physical education, religious education, art, maths, English, and computing.[1]

History

[edit]

The school was founded in September 1941 at Newbold Revel near Rugby in Warwickshire. The headteacher was A.J Raitt and there was one teacher at that time - Vera Hardiman. The school was opened to serve the children of students attending Newbold College of Higher Education, (which was a seminary university for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, also then located in Newbold Revel).

Some months after the war ended (December 1945 - January 1946), the School and College moved to Binfield in Berkshire. The School was originally housed on the College campus, which at the time offered a teaching degree and the opportunity for students to carry out their teaching practice in the School. In 1963, the School moved to its current site next to Newbold Seventh-day Adventist Church (then Binfield Seventh-day Adventist Church) on Popeswood Road in Binfield.

Additions to the school were proposed in 2018.[2]
