Our 300 year old school is situated in the beautiful village of Slaidburn in the Ribble Valley.

We provide a high quality education for all, in a warm family atmosphere.
Our small classes, excellent teaching and idyllic setting ensure that each child flourishes. We encourage all of our children to be confident, caring and polite. Thank you for taking the time to browse our website and if you have any questions or would like to visit then you would be very welcome.
As members of God's family, at Brennand's Endowed Church of England Primary School, we aim to love one another as Jesus loves us. (John15 :12-13) We do our best to Encourage, Serve and Respect everyone. (1Thess 5:11) 'Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you'.
