We're a joy-filled school balancing challenge with curiosity. In our lovely school, good behavior blooms through restorative practices. We celebrate our differences, welcome parents with open arms, and cherish values where every teacher knows every child by name and heart.
We nurture the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—helping them discover not just their potential but their super potential! Our tight-knit community cheers each other on with our motto: "Have a go and keep going when the going gets tough!" That's our secret formula for reaching every child's full potetial.
"Scout Road Academy is a popular, mixed-form entry primary school, located in the quiet country-side at the edge of Mytholmroyd. Children are at the very heart of our school and we aim to provide a well-rounded education and excellent pastoral care for everyone.
