Head's Up
Twyford is a very special School. We put the happiness and fulfilment of each and every child at the centre of all we do. We recognise that every child has unique gifts and we believe that the overtly positive and encouraging educational environment which exists at Twyford enables our pupils to flourish and thrive.
As parents we love...
- The approach – A great balance of developing a healthy mind, body and spirit and to see each child as an individual.
- The pupils – Almost every unplanned encounter with a Twyford pupil is positive: they somehow manage to be polite, kind and confident without being arrogant or dismissive
- The teachers – We have been impressed by the kind, sensitive and excellent staff creating a safe and nurturing environment with a strong emphasis on pastoral care.
As pupils we love...
- The inspiring teachers who are really kind
- All the sport we play
- The food – it’s always delicious and there’s so much choice.

Drama – in 2019, the Year 6 & 7 play was a terrific performance of Oliver! Some fabulous performances in singing, dancing and acting.
