On behalf of all the staff and Governors, I would like to welcome you to Albany Village Primary School's web pages. At Albany Village Primary School we strive to make our school an exciting place for our children to learn and reach their full potential.
Our mission statement sets out how we will support each individual child during their time at our school while preparing them for their life in the future. We hope we can develop a strong partnership between home and school and work together to support your child.
