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.

Headteacher

We will be joining the challenge again this term. Look out for an e-mail. Teachers will record active travel on the cards throughout the week.
Thank you so much to Liz who came to talk to us about being a solicitor today. She is part of our wonderful Staveley School Alumni and we loved hearing about the school in the 80s and the things that are the same and the things that are different. If you went to Staveley School and would like to share your story we’d love to hear from you.
We’ve taken full advantage of the Sunny weather today #outdoorlearning
Just a little sneak preview of what we will be doing tomorrow (19th March) as a part of our pre-school Easter Extravaganza! Join us from 1.30pm-3.00pm for arts, crafts, outdoor activities and more. Open to all pre-school children and their families. We look forward to seeing you 🐇🌻
Do you have any good quality children’s books that you no longer read? We are going to be having a book stall to raise money for our charity of the year Macmillan Cancer Support. Please bring donations to either the infant or junior building entrance.
Come and join us for a fun evening and lots of chocolate!
Yesterday in sewing club, our patchwork cushions came to life! Every student has worked extremely hard and grown so much in confidence when using the sewing machines! The cushions look fantastic, they should all be very proud of themselves! 🧵🪡👏
Jacob class had a brilliant time going on the train to visit Booths supermarket in Windermere. The children asked some thoughtful questions and learned about where different foods come from. We can’t wait to plot these countries on our world map. We also learned that cheese comes from milk and which animals produce which meat. A fantastic afternoon, thank you Booths!
We didn’t let the weather stop us in gardening club tonight, we used last years pressed flowers from our lovely school garden to create two beautiful abstract pieces of art. The children also produced some gorgeous observational paintings and created their own wonderful garden and flower pictures.
