I am extremely proud to be headteacher of this friendly, caring school where every child is important and encouraged to achieve their full potential. Our school motto 'Together we build understanding' is underpinned by our core values of kindness, resilience and respect, and are central to our school ethos.
Unsworth Primary School is a special place where all children are at the heart of what we do. We provide a nurturing and stimulating environment, where children are motivated to explore, discover and question through a range of exciting learning opportunities. All our staff are highly motivated, hard-working and passionate about children's learning.
