About

Hello and a very warm welcome to Larkspur Community Primary School's website. My name is Katy Anglesea, and I am thrilled and deeply honoured to be the Headteacher here at Larkspur. Having spent the last 24 years working in education, as a class teacher, Deputy Headteacher and Acting Headteacher.

I'm excited to be leading a school that already feels so special and full of potential. It's a privilege to work alongside such dedicated staff, wonderful children, and supportive families. Larkspur is a one-form entry primary school, offering a caring and inclusive environment for children from Nursery to Year 6.

Our vibrant Nursery welcomes children from the age of 2, with both morning and afternoon sessions available, helping our youngest learners get the best start to their school journey. Set in spacious and developing grounds, our school is a safe and happy place where children are encouraged to thrive.

We are lucky to have a team of committed, skilled staff who go above and beyond to make sure every child feels valued and supported. Our facilities and resources enable us to deliver high-quality teaching and provide memorable learning experiences, both in and out of the classroom.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
