'Where everyone is welcome and everyone is valued' at Stokesay Primary School we aim to support and raise aspirations and the self-belief of our children through an 'I can, We can' attitude. We provide a safe, happy and nurturing environment for every child to develop and succeed.
We believe in building strong, positive relationships between pupils, parents, staff, governors and the community. We recognise that all children have a number of gifts and talents that we celebrate and nurture. We have close links with the local mosque as well as the local church (St Andrews).
This rich and varied mix of backgrounds and cultures is something we rightly celebrate. Our teaching team work incredibly hard designing lessons with the individual needs of each child in mind, enabling children to achieve their full potential. Our aim is to provide the best start in life for every child.
We work hard to ensure that our curriculum is balanced, stimulating and enriching, building skills and knowledge sequentially as a child develops.
