General Information The Croft is a very popular village school, which has served the local community for over 90 years. There is a friendly, welcoming atmosphere in the school, which we strive hard to promote at all times. The school is a co-educational school administered by Staffordshire County Council Education Committee. It caters for children from the age of 4 to 11.

Ofsted update: We were extremely proud to be awarded an overall rating of "2 / Good" following the school's latest successful Ofsted inspection (24/04/2007).

The school is attractively situated at the edge of the village, enjoying open views of the surrounding countryside.

The school has a large playing field, two playground areas and a play area for Reception Class and Key Stage 1. These offer ample opportunity for the children to enjoy playtime breaks and experience a wide range of games and activities.

The main entrance can be reached through the main gates to the school. First contact can then be made through the school office. A security system is in operation which restricts access from the foyer to the remainder of the school.


Uniform

At The Croft School we believe that a smart and distinctive school uniform will help to develop a pride and sense of loyalty to the school. The Governors of the school have stated that all Croft School pupils should wear a sweatshirt or cardigan with the school logo. This helps identification on school visits and promotes a good school ethos.

The sweatshirt or cardigan can be purchased from 'Buxton and Bonnett', Lichfield or, 'Uniform Plus' in Lichfield & Rugeley. These suppliers also stock the Croft School royal blue fleece, which is very useful for the children when playing outside on the playground. All other items of uniform listed below can be purchased from any outlet you choose, as we realise the considerable cost involved in buying school uniform.

Our basic colours are Royal Blue and Grey or Black

Shoes - Black and have an appropriate school design and style. (High heels and trainers should not be worn as school shoes)
Children should not attend school in open toed sandals for safety reasons.
