We place your children at the heart of everything we do. We strive for excellence in all we do because we simply wish all children to receive the best possible provision. We have been on a rapid improvement journey and have an excellent reputation locally as well as across Taunton.

Our curriculum is specifically tailored to meet the needs of all. It adapts according to where the children are in their learning and what their needs are. We support our children to make a positive contribution to their community and to become respectful and responsible.  As children grow and develop in our care, we help them to be confident, enthusiastic and motivated learners who feel well prepared to take their next steps, both within our school and beyond.

The PTFA (Parent, Teacher, Friends Association) is a thriving group of parents who support the school by organising events to raise much needed funds, so we can continue developing every aspect of Lyngford Park Primary and Nursery.  Discos, Fayres, Bingo, Raffles, Cake Sales, Pre-loved uniform sales and many more!

We have a supportive and complete Governing Body, who are all regular visitors to our school and have a drive to ensure we are striving for excellence. They support our school and hold the Headteacher to account to ensure improvements are continually made so all children receive the best possible provision.

My Staff are hardworking, diligent and fully committed to school improvement. Many staff undertake additional training though courses to help their own professional development. There are progress meetings to monitor improvements as well as assessment weeks and staff meetings to further improve provision.
