Welcome to Shephalbury Park Primary School, the home of the Shephalbury Learner! Shephalbury Park is a precious place, where creativity, challenge and enjoyment are at the very core of everything we do. We share a close bond and value the strong relationships which are mutually supportive. They make our school a very happy place.
Ofsted (October 2022) recognised the outstanding provisions in place for our children, especially in behaviour, welfare and personal development. As a good school we provide a high quality of education. Our inclusive practices have also been validated as a clear strength. We are regularly asked to share our good practice with other schools across the county.
We know that your childs early experience of school will have a lasting influence on their motivation and attitude to life and learning. We value the importance of ensuring your child flourishes. This is why we instil the attributes of the Shephalbury L.E.A.R.N.E.R.
