Goodrich Church of England Primary School together with our Governor run nursery- Goldcrests, has over one hundred and twenty children on roll. To care and support for these wonderful children, there are over twenty staff members – in various guises!  We are all justly proud of our school – in fact, we love it here! 

Goodrich Primary is a Church of England Voluntary Controlled School, situated in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), halfway between the historic towns of Ross on Wye and Monmouth.  Our community stretches over a wide area, from west of the A40 dual carriageway, to the beautiful River Wye. Some of our children come from even further away. Goodrich Primary was founded in 1850 and in 2000 we moved out of the original Victorian building into the modern new school that we have today.

Goodrich is a small, ancient village with a village hall, two pubs, a famous castle, and, of course, the school. 

High over it all stands the steeple of our church, St Giles’, which plays an important part in our school lives. The distinctively Christian ethos of the school means that we work as a family to role-model, guide and share our Christian values to help our children to explore, grow and develop in a safe environment. 

In our wonderful school grounds the children are guided and supported in their freedom to play, explore and socialize in a beautiful landscape. 

The school’s distinctively Christian character and approach to schooling ensures that pupils think beyond themselves and they actively care for one another.’
