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.

We are set up and ready to welcome you to our preschool Easter extravaganza starting at 1:30 pm. We have indoor and outdoor activities available along with a scavenger hunt, books to share and hot drinks for the grown-ups. We look forward to welcoming you and your children for an afternoon of fun activities. The afternoon is suitable for all preschool aged children and if you have younger ones, you’re welcome to come along and play with the toys both inside and outside.
We’re ready and looking forward to seeing you for playgroup this morning 🌅
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

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! 🧵🪡👏
