The programme combines practical skills and activities with techniques to encourage independence and raise self-confidence and self-esteem. Its cross-curricular approach incorporates Maths, English, Design and Technology, Science, Music and Art. Experiences include using tools to make things from wood; using natural materials to make shelters and produce art work; lighting a fire with flint and steel and cooking healthy campfire food; and exploring the habitat through mini-beast safaris and sensory games. ### School Information - [School Information](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information) - [Headteacher Welcome](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/headteacher-welcome) - [Admissions](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/admissions) - [Arden Forest MAT](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/arden-forest-mat) - [Attendance](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/attendance) - [Forest School](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/forest-school) - [Heart of England Forest](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/forest-school/heart-of-england-forest) - [Ethos](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/forest-school/ethos) - [Benefits](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/forest-school/benefits) - [Clothing](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/forest-school/clothing) - [Parent Volunteers](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/forest-school/parent-volunteers) - [Freedom of information](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/freedom-of-information) - [Governors](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/governors) - [Job Vacancies](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/job-vacancies) - [Mission Statement & Aims](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/mission-statement-aims) - [Ofsted & SIAMs](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/ofsted-siams) - [Performance Data Page](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/performance-data-page) - [Policies](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/policies) - [PTA](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/pta) - [Pupil Premium](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/pupil-premium) - [RE & Collective Worship](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/re-collective-worship) - [Safeguarding](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/safeguarding) - [SEND & Inclusion](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/send-inclusion) - [Sports Funding](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/sports-funding) - [Staff](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/staff) - [Values & Ethos](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/values-ethos) ### Temple Grafton C of E Primary School Church Bank Alcester Warwickshire B49 6NU 01789 772384 ### Useful Links - [Admissions](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/admissions) - [Vacancies](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/job-vacancies) - [Calendar](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/calendar) - [Term Dates](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/parents/term-dates) ### Helpful Links - [Forest School](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/school-information/forest-school) - [Curriculum](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/parents/curriculum) - [Newsletters](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/parents/newsletters) - [Contact Us](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/templegraftonprimary) © Copyright 2026 Temple Grafton C of E Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.tgschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
