Cragside Church of England School is a thriving, vibrant, two form entry school located in the town of Cramlington, Northumberland. Our school vision, 'Let Your Light Shine' is taken from Matthew's Gospel. This fully encapsulates the purpose of our school. Every single day, we strive for, and see, all of the children and staff in our school shining brightly.
As a school, love is very much interwoven into everything that we do. Every single child deserves to have the opportunity to flourish and excel and we ensure our children have a range of rich experiences so that they can achieve more than they ever thought possible.
We want every child in our school to develop the skills they need to live life in all its fullness, to be the very best that they can be and fulfil their God given potential. Every child within our school brings with them a truly unique mix of experiences, needs, hopes and dreams.
We nurture each of these academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually, in a supportive way, so that light will shine from every child, in both our school and the wider community.
