Welcome to Sharp Lane Primary School and thank you for visiting our website! As a school, we are on a journey where we want everyone to ASPIRE to be the best they can be. When children leave school we want them to have confidence and BELIEVE that they can achieve anything they want through hard work and COMMITMENT .
Using knowledge and skills they have learnt, we want all children to be independent, lifelong learners and have the confidence to explore and DISCOVER . Underpinning our vision are our six core values, our characteristics of learning which will enable all children to; take responsibility, form relationships, take risks, have resilience, be resourceful and be reflective.
These are collectively known as our 6Rs and these help us strive to bring learning to life with a combination of our curriculum, the experiences we offer and our drive to inspire all children.
