Turnfurlong Infant School is a larger than average three-form entry infant school situated approximately a mile from the centre of Aylesbury. Our warm and caring school is a place where every child really matters and where we celebrate the unique status of being an infant school. Inspiring a love of learning is at the heart of our teaching. Our curriculum is enhanced by a range of visitors to the school and visits out of school (local and further afield). During the year our children will watch chicks hatch, visit local places of worship, meet visiting authors, feel the rhythm of a Diwali dance day, experience a visiting farm, travel as far as Warwick Castle and much, much more!
