LOCATION
Cherry Orchard is a large primary school on the south side of Worcester City, some three miles from Junction 7 of the M5. The school serves a very mixed catchment area. There are currently 626 pupils on roll.
The original Cherry Orchard was opened on a different site, in 1883. The present school, on the Timberdine Close site, was opened in 1976. Over the years, various extensions have been added and the school is bright and spacious. However, we are always looking to enhance our accommodation. In September 2011, work on the new kitchens and dining hall was completed, enabling us to offer cooked meals, as well as providing a new dance/drama studio. In September 2013, we were delighted to open the new Eco Classroom; a state-of-the-art learning environment for our children to learn and thrive.
‘Brighter Futures’ run wrap around care before and after school. They are comfortably housed in a recently extended mobile and are also able to use the hall and school field out of hours. Further details on this can be obtained by phoning Nicola Turrell on 07919357895.
There are extensive playing fields, including a forest school area, and the site has a pleasant open aspect. Our forest school area, within the grounds, provides children with plenty of opportunities for outdoor education. Additionally, the Reception classrooms have access to well- equipped outdoor classroom spaces. The school also runs an allotment in the plots adjacent to the school.
