A warm welcome to Horwich Parish CE Primary School A warm welcome to you and your child. At Horwich Parish we want children to feel safe, happy and motivated to learn. We have high expectations of all pupils in terms of their behaviour and work. Our exciting and vibrant curriculum stimulates life-long learning, enabling children to grow into proud and resilient young people.
We believe that our school provides a stimulating environment for effective and enjoyable learning to take place. Outdoor learning is a special feature of our school. We have our own allotment.
We have lots of elected pupil councils for examples - The School Council, Eco Warriors, Digital leaders, Reading Ambassadors, Sports Ambassadors, Friendship Ambassadors, Worship group and Safety Council. Some of their work is reflected here and in our activities in school.
We also have two pupil leadership teams, a junior and senior leadership team, voted for by everyone at Horwich Parish during our Democracy Day in September. The teams regularly meet with the senior leadership team to plan ways to further improve life at Horwich Parish!
