On behalf of all the children, staff and Governors, I'd like to warmly welcome you to Beehive Lane Community Primary School. We are a popular, happy and caring school where expectations and standards are high and where every child is valued. Our children enjoy an exciting learning experience in a stimulating environment.
We have an extensive outdoor space which includes a playing field, large play apparatus and a secure garden for our Early Years children to explore. With our own garden and Forest School, we embrace outdoor learning. Our storytelling garden was opened by local author, Kes Grey and it includes a wildlife area and pond.
We offer an extensive range of additional clubs and activities for children to participate in. We aim to work in partnership with parents and Governors to provide the very best for every child.
