Welcome to Seascale Primary School. Our school is a happy school. We all work together in a strong team with a common aim to provide the best education possible within our capabilities for all our children. We believe that children are entitled to a primary education that offers: quality, breadth of experience, high standards of excellence and sense of community.
We strive to provide a nurturing environment in which all children can grow and develop into confident responsible young people, capable of achieving high levels of personal attainment. Our school aims to be an inclusive school. This means that equality of opportunity must be a reality for all of our children.
We make this a reality through the attention we pay to the different groups of children within our school: girls and boys; minority ethnic and faith groups; children who need support to learn English as an additional language; children with special educational needs; gifted and talented children; any children who are at risk of disaffection or exclusion.
