Welcome to our lovely, small school. We are situated in the Yorkshire countryside high up above Keighley in the village of Laycock. We are very spoilt in our setting with views of the rolling hills and lots of outdoor space including our woods and our playing field.
We are a stone's throw of Haworth, the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, and the first public Carnegie Library in England! In fact some of these places are the names of our Houses! Our children all join one of our four houses when they start at Laycock Primary School. They then remain in these houses throughout their time at school.
We do events, workshops, trips, stay and plays and learning in our houses at least once a half term. The Houses are named after significant local landmarks Our school is half form entry which means we can take up to 15 pupils per year group. Due to this our children are taught in mixed age classes.
The original school building dates back to 1891 and has been updated recently, providing our pupils with a learning environment which is both modern yet has great charm and character.
