Let all that you do be done with love. Home About Us Welcome Welcome Executive Headteacher's Welcome As the Executive Headteacher and on behalf of the children, staff and governors I am very pleased to welcome you to Croxton Kerrial CE Primary school.
I am very proud to be Headteacher of our wonderful school, leading a team of committed staff and working closely with families and the community to help our children to reach their full potential and develop a love of life and learning.
We are a small village school surrounded by beautiful rural countryside, close to the historic Belvoir Castle with easy access to a range of local secondary schools, including nearby post- 11 grammar schools. We are located just outside Grantham, Lincolnshire, and near to Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
We were delighted to become an Academy within Rise Multi-Academy Trust on 1 st November 2013. We enjoy very close links with our partner school: Wymondham CE Primary School.
