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.

Swaledales had a lovely winter writing workshop this morning with Zoe from #wordsworthgrasmere . We made these gorgeous winter mobiles to display our writing.
Inspired by our trip to Abbott Hall last term, Romneys have looked into Kurt Schwitters, a German collage artist who found himself living and working in the Lake District during World War 2. His work was chaotic, which we have interpreted to represent how Schwitters viewed the world post-war. Using recycled materials, collected from home, we have created our own chaotic yet thought-provoking collages. We thoroughly enjoyed this and the local connection made this project even more exciting. 🎨🖼️
Jacob Class had a brilliant morning with Zoe from the Wordsworth Trust #wordsworthgrasmere learning all about William and Dorothy Wordsworth in wintertime. We had a fantastic time learning some new songs, dancing like we were ice skating and seeing what exciting things were inside the rucksack! We finished our session making collage icicles and listening to a snow story. Thank you so much Zoe!
Great morning with the Jacobs and Swaledales demonstrating teamwork and resilience, and increasing their fundamental movement skills, by creating different obstacles to move with.
We are set up and ready to welcome all our playschool friends and families. Looking forward to seeing you at 10am.
We love seeing work children have created at home! One of our year 6 students has created a fantastic piece of artwork related to our Antarctica topic earlier this term. She has used salt and watercolours to create a textured, creative piece of art of a penguin 🐧 🎨
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
