Welcome to Staveley CE Primary School
On behalf of the children, staff and Governors, I would like to welcome you to Staveley CE Primary School.
We are very proud of our village school which stands in beautiful grounds surrounded by hills, fields and trees. We have strong links within the local community and we work closely with St James’ Church situated next door to school.
Our Core Christian Values of Friendship, Respect, Compassion, Thankfulness, Courage and Service are at the heart of everything we do and we are committed to developing a love of learning in all our children.
Our School Vision;
We love to learn. We learn to love, embraces loving one another as Jesus loved us. We strive to recognise our flocks' individual gifts and celebrate these gifts in a caring, loving and Christian environment. We aspire to create a community of hope filled, lifelong learners who are empowered to embrace challenge and can influence positive change in the world.
Our curriculum covers the requirements of the National Curriculum as well as offering our children a wide range of experiences including exciting trips and Residential visits, Outdoor and Adventurous Activity Days, Theme Weeks and the use of our extensive grounds.
Our most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2025 recognised this stating that; "The curriculum is broad, rich and engaging. The school brings the curriculum to life through purposeful experiences linked to pupils’ learning. Staff’s subject knowledge is strong and they present new information to pupils clearly." "The school is ambitious for pupils’ achievement. This extends beyond the curriculum and into all aspects of their development."
We hope the information included on this website gives you a flavour of the special place Staveley CE Primary School is.
If there is anything else you would like to know please do not hesitate to get in touch. If you are a prospective parent we would be happy to take you on a tour, please call the School Office to arrange this.

Another science lesson outside testing forces for Herdies! We took our friction investigation outside, looking at which surfaces have the most and least friction. We found the grass had the most friction and the bench and outdoor classroom had the least friction! ✏️🌳
We love multiplying non-unit fractions by integers in Romneys! We turned it into a game this morning and we had to be accurate if we didn’t want to go back a space. Ask your child what they did this morning. Can you remember how to do this? #welovemaths
We’ve had a wonderful time with our preschool friends this morning creating spectacular junk models! We made some binoculars, painted some butterflies and had a brilliant time creating lots of mess with the bit box. What a fabulous morning.
We loved welcoming Sue, Dave and and Guide Dogs ambassador Lawrence into school today. Sue and Dave gave us a very informative talk about Guide Dogs and the life of Lawrence as an ambassador dog. Our children asked brilliant questions at the end of the session. Big thanks to all involved 🦮 #guidedogs
Life is so busy at Staveley School, another week has flown by. Art, Computing, Science learning outside finding out about forces, birdwatching, role play, group work, celebrating our superstars of the week and being proud of some amazing non chronological report writing about emperor penguins and that’s just the highlights! #superweek #proudofourchildren #villageschool #partofthecommunity
We love maths in Jacob class, today we’ve been learning about the number 7. #welovemaths
Today Herdies explored forces within our fantastic outdoor space and we discovered push and pulls almost everywhere! From pulling ourselves up a climbing frame, to pushing a football into a goal. What a great science lesson! 🧗♀️⚽️🛝
Today we took our computing learning outside and used nature as inspiration for our vector drawings. We looked for layers in nature and took photos to copy using shape and line tools on the laptops. The children had to think logically about how to use formatting tools to create an image they were happy with.
