Its purpose is to give you a flavour of daily life at Collierley, keep you informed of upcoming events and share with you the highlights of past events.

We want all children to not only feel safe and cared for at school, but also to enjoy learning! We are very proud of our school, its rich heritage and its spectacular site. We are always looking for ways to improve and we have plans to further develop the fantastic grounds to further enhance the curriculum for all of our children.
We are all dedicated to ensuring that the school has a friendly, caring atmosphere to help each child have an outstanding primary education. Ensuring that we are very much a Village School and that children are given every opportunity to achieve and excel.
