iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Skidby Primary School Welcome to Skidby Primary School and thank you for taking the time to browse our website. I hope that you find it informative and that it answers any questions you may have.
My name is Stuart Richardson and I feel truly privileged to be leading such a wonderful school and to have the opportunity of ensuring that each child at Skidby CE Primary receives the best possible education in their formative years.
Skidby is a small primary school with around 80 children on roll, split amongst four classes; in addition to this we have an independent nursery on site for those parents requiring pre-school provision.
Here at Skidby we strive to be a Christian school, in a small community making a big difference, taking our lead from 1 Thessalonians 5:11 that teaches us to encourage one another and build one another up.
