Equipping Eversley Children for Life

At Eversley Primary School we believe in providing for all of our children a balanced and creative curriculum that

goes beyond the teaching of the National Curriculum.

We pledge to provide a range of exciting opportunities to broaden children’s learning and give them access to a wider

curriculum to help each and every child to fulfil their potential in life.

We achieve this through our ‘Eversley Endeavours’:

Eversley Endeavours... ...to ensure that every child has the opportunity to make choices

based on valuable and varied experiences. We believe that learning

goes beyond the classroom and that for our pupils to fulfil their

potential in life, they need experience of the many wonderful

things our world has to offer.
