Somerfords' Walter Powell CofE Primary School

Welcome to Somerfords' Walter Powell

Welcome to The Vine Schools, which include Seagry, Somerfords’ Walter Powell, and Christian Malford. It is a genuine privilege to lead these caring and vibrant school communities and to work alongside families to support every child throughout their primary school journey.

At The Vine Schools, we are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive and inspiring environment where all children are known, valued and encouraged to flourish. Our work is rooted in strong Christian foundations, which shape our values, relationships and sense of community, while we continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of school life.

Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to deliver a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum that supports academic achievement while also nurturing creativity, curiosity and a love of learning. We are passionate about developing confident, thoughtful and compassionate children who are well prepared for the next stage of their education and for life beyond the classroom.

Strong partnerships with families and the wider community are central to our approach. We value open communication and believe that working closely together enables us to meet the needs of every child more effectively. We warmly encourage families to be involved in school life through events, activities and shared opportunities to support learning.

With experience of leadership across The Vine Schools, we are deeply committed to continuity, stability and sustained improvement. We remain focused on maintaining high standards, supporting staff development and ensuring that every decision we make is in the best interests of the children in our care.

We look forward to continuing to work together as a strong, supportive community and to building on the many strengths of The Vine Schools.

With warm regards,

Mr. Sam Austin & Mr. Shaun Carter
