A very warm welcome to Sherwell Valley Primary School. At Sherwell Valley our children always come first. Through our vision of Excellence in all we do , we aim to provide an excellent education which empowers our children to take ownership of themselves, others and the world around them.
We encourage and inspire our children through creating engaging, safe, happy, supportive and nurturing environments that allow children to flourish and leave our school with a life-long love of learning, confident and ready for the next steps in their life journey.
We are very excited to announce that, following an inspection in February 2024, we have maintained our Ofsted rating of good. To view the full report please go to About Us and select Our Performance We raised a magnificent 707 for BBC Children in Need!
