Our school motto is:

 

Be caring, be happy and always do our best!

 

At Sawtry Infant School we aim to provide a quality learning environment in which all children are given the opportunity to achieve their full potential and become valued and responsible members of the community.

 

We place a strong emphasis upon literacy and mathematics and provide opportunities for the children to apply these skills in everyday life. We aim to equip all our pupils with the tools for future learning.
