A warm welcome to the Shavington Primary website. I hope from looking through the pages you will get a sense of the inclusive, friendly and happy school Shavington is. At Shavington Primary School we aim to build an exceptional school community unlocking potential and embracing opportunities. Our children and staff are empowered to take on the world as life long learners.
This empowerment comes from the opportunities to thrive whether that be in the arts, sports or academia. Confidence is built from the early years with children introduced to the four learning muscles of resilience, relationships, resourcefulness and reflection.
Adults nurture the best from each child and build strong relationships ensuring children can thrive because they feel safe and listened to. Children have access to an ambitious curriculum that sparks curiosity and passion in the world around them, they are excited to learn.
Every child has the opportunity to: Attend extra-curricular clubs including those in the arts Children learn to welcome diversity and make everyone welcome. They build strong relationships built on kindness and are given opportunities to take part in student leadership activities.
