Shinfield and the community

The South West Wokingham Extended Services Cluster Partnership

Shinfield Infant and Nursery and Shinfield Junior Schools are members of the South West Wokingham Cluster Partnership along with four other local schools.

The Extended Services Cluster Partnership provides the essential collaboration for a 21st century school facilitated by a Cluster Coordinator. It takes a strategic role, and is accountable for its decisions. It identifies needs, sets strategic aims, and agrees,

monitors and reviews the activities that support children and young people within the local community, ensuring that every child and young person in its community does matter.

Additional information including the Terms of Reference is available in the booklet format document below.

School and Community

Shinfield Infant School has many well developed links with the local community and the wider world. These links have been established through 300 years of the school’s history. At the 2007 celebrations of the school’s tercentenary, we welcomed visitors from all around the world as well as from all over the United Kingdom. Their reports and memories of the school are documented in the school’s History Room. Our weekly newsletters are full of details about the work of the school in the community, and the timeline in the school shows pictures of special events.

The school is currently undergoing expansion.  There will be a large new school hall and three new classrooms. Other improvements will include  a new hygiene room, a wildlife area and additional Foundation Stage outdoor play areas. We are delighted that as part of the school’s expansion and improvements, we now have a large new playground and field, a new link corridor, a children’s kitchen and growing garden.  As of September 2014 the school has reached full capacity with three classes in each year group.
