Welcome to Silver Tree Primary School and Nursery! On behalf of our staff, governors, parents and children, welcome to the Silver Tree Primary School and Nursery website. We hope you enjoy looking at our work and experiences we have here at school. Silver Tree Primary School and Nursery is a fantastic and unique place, and I am very proud to be the Headteacher.
Children will only do well in school if they are happy, settled and their well-being is high. Our goal is to cultivate a safe, supportive and inclusive environment that gives our children the chance to discover lifelong interests, as well as a love of learning. We want our children to feel nurtured, listened to and confident to tell us how they feel.
We all share the same aim every child will fulfil their potential regardless of any barriers they may have. We hold high aspirations for all our children and try our best to nourish a sense of wonder for the world around them.
