Headteacher’s Welcome
The school is an “outstanding” (Ofsted 2012) Academy for children aged 3-11 years. Children are admitted to our nursery on a part or full time basis, which is part of our outstanding Early Years provision. Children in Reception to Year 6 attend full time. We are very proud of our school and there are excellent facilities for our children.
The school is in the Wearmouth Deanery and we worship with our community, in school, every Friday at 9am. Please join us. Our children feed into Venerable Bede Church of England Secondary Academy, so that a continuous pathway of Christian education is offered to all our children. “Daily Worship makes an excellent contribution to pupils strong sense of community and their outstanding spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.” (Ofsted 2012)
Our mission at the Academy is to create a safe, stimulating and happy learning environment within which all members of our school family realise their potential, aspiring to excellence in all aspects of life, in the light of the Christian faith. Our SIAMS inspection [2012], described the Academy as a place where “Christian love is lived”. Our standards are high in all areas and we have high expectations of our children, parents and staff.
Our Academy may be the first experience which your child will have of school and we are all keen to see that this is a very positive experience which encourages a love of learning from the very first day. “A tangible sense of the joy of learning pervades the school” (Ofsted 2012)
We believe that we can achieve the best for your child by developing a close partnership between home and school. This website is intended to give you more information about the life of the Academy and the learning which ensues.
Throughout the primary years there are regular meetings with parents and opportunities for you to share in your child’s education within our wider community, which we strongly encourage you to be involved in.
We look forward to developing a partnership with you.
