Headteacher Welcome Where every child shines Arnesby is a wonderful school and although small in size, it has a big heart. We hope that you find your visit to our website informative and that it provides you with a flavour of our school activities. We are enormously proud of our pupils and the individual contribution each one of them brings to make school life special.
We have wonderful children, a dedicated staff team, supportive parents and we are part of a great community. We benefit from small classes with a unique place in our village community. Christian values and ethos are at the heart of the school.
Our aim is to provide children with a high-quality education, where purposeful learning, interesting stimulus and a full partnership between teachers and parents encourage each child to reach their maximum potential. Within a safe, friendly and caring environment, pupils are encouraged to develop their academic, physical, spiritual and emotional capacities.
The school helps children recognise their place in the community, to be life-long learners, ready to be active citizens and to accept their responsibilities as they grow up and contribute positively to society.
