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.

An excellent start to sewing club today! Everyone earned their sewing machine licence after completing a series of mini sewing tests, and we made a start on our patchwork cushions by cutting and pinning our material. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on our cushions over the next few weeks, 🪡🧵
Jacob Class have got straight back into the swing of things, starting with our new topic ‘people who help us, dentists’. We’ve learned about the different type of teeth we have, had a go at brushing our giant set of teeth and started our tooth experiment using vinegar, juice, coca-cola, tea, coffee and water! In our outdoor learning literacy lesson we loved exploring our beautiful woodland area thinking about a ‘recipe for a Woodland’ and what we would put in our own. What a great start to our new half term.
Another week to make us all smile at Staveley School. It started with Musical Monday where we all gathered to listen to live music - amazing to listen to a harp and saxophone. We had a fire engine visit, did Children’s Mental Health week activities, enjoyed being together in class and outdoors continuing our learning. A team of children went to a Ten Pin Bowling competition, we used our iPads to photograph signs of spring. Green team celebrated being house of the half term and we ended the week with a whole school scooter day. A super week and a busy half term. Have a lovely half term everyone and see you back at school on Monday 23rd Feb.
An absolutely brilliant last day before half term enjoying our prize from @activecumbria for winning Street Tag last season. Thank you James from @scootfit the children loved it and staff too!
