'Pupils live and breathe the school's values of "Be the best version of yourself enjoy and achieve".' Garway Primary School sits in a thriving rural village, in beautiful rolling countryside, close to Garway Hill. We have a very close knit community of children, staff and parents/carers with strong links to the local village.
A very active Parent Staff Association (PSA) provides fantastic support to the school and organises fundraising and social activities throughout the year. The whole school shares a strong commitment to Values-based education (VbE), which permeates every aspect of school life: we live and breathe our values , which help us to be the best version of ourselves .
Both school and pre-school hold the international Values-based Education Quality Mark.
