About

OFSTED recently inspected and rated one of our schools as GOOD • read the report OFSTED recently inspected and rated another of our schools as GOOD • read the report Our vision is to help each child flourish into a caring, confident and resilient young person who has a love of learning .

We will do this through our shared Christian values: We will uphold high aspirations for all our children, through our innovative and inspiring approach to teaching and learning.

'I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth' Christian values are at the heart of our Church school Our values underpin a culture that promotes love, kindness, forgiveness, thankfulness and trust.

As part of The Upper Wharfedale Primary Federation, we benefit from being part of an outward looking organisation and seek opportunities to learn collaboratively and access specialist teaching beyond an individual school's scope.
