Stawley Primary School is a very special place to work and play. When parents and children join us they really become part of our family. I am lucky enough to work with a talented, caring and motivated staff who support every child as an individual on their learning journey.
Our curriculum is dynamic and makes fantastic use of the wonderful environmental resources we are lucky enough to have in our rural location. Our community is extremely supportive of the school and this gives our children many special opportunities and experiences. We have very supportive parents and governors who play a key role in supporting and developing the school.
Our Friends of Stawley School are very active, this gives all our families access to many fun fundraising activities as well as benefiting our children with their proceeds. I look forward to welcoming you to our school very soon.
