iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Our motto is "Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow". We recognise that time in school is such an important time for both children and their families and we always aim to ensure that every child feels happy, safe, secure and confident in their school life and is well equipped for the next stage of their education.
We are two small schools with experienced teams who are passionate about making learning fun and exciting. Unstone St Mary's Nursery & Infant School and Unstone Junior School joined together as a federation in September 2016. The two schools work closely together but still keep their own identity.
