About

Tackley CE Primary School is at the centre of the village. We serve our community by providing a creative and exciting curriculum within the context of Christian belief and practice. Our core Christian values are: curiosity, kindness and responsibility.

Through the Parable of the Lost Sheep, we help our children understand we come together as one to ensure no child is left behind and to enable them to live life in all its fullness. We pride ourselves on our children; they are hardworking, kind and thoughtful members of our school community. They work together to support each other and model our values in all that they do.

Our staff are the cornerstone of our school. They have high expectations of the children and work hard to build warm and nurturing relationships that enable children to develop independence, resilience and positive learning attitudes. We believe our days at school should be reflected on with positive memories and warm friendships.

Through collaboration with our community, we strive to provide rich and relevant creative learning experiences for our children, enabling them to be well prepared for life beyond our school and can flourish.
