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.

Thank you so much to Sheila who comes in to hear readers on Tuesday afternoons. This week she brought in a game called 24 (she loves maths like we do!) and the whole class played. You had to make 24 using all the numbers on the card and be the first to get it right. It got quite heated but we loved it! 2️⃣4️⃣
Thank you so much to Healthy Hearts for visiting Year 5 & 6 yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about how amazing our hearts are and how we can make healthy choices to look after them.
