It is a real pleasure and absolute privilege, as the Principal of Cramlington Village Primary School, to welcome you to our school website. We are a 3-11 Primary School with approximately 170 pupils on roll, proudly serving a fantastic community in Cramlington, Northumberland.
We have a dedicated teaching team and are very proud of how together, with our pupils, parents, staff and governors, we are a community of learners that grow and flourish together. Our caring and supportive ethos is designed with our children and families at the heart and centre of everything we do.
It is our belief that all children can succeed, and we are relentlessly focussed on enabling our children to achieve academically, as well as celebrating personal success. We aspire for our children to leave us as learners who look at the wider world with the confidence and knowledge that they can make a difference, and that they matter.
