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.

What a day the Jacobs and Swaledales had on Wednesday on their Big Adventure. A perfect day for a canoe and swim in Coniston. Thank you so much to the whole team at Big Adventure for a great day out. #bigadventure
Yellow team enjoyed their House of the Half term treat yesterday. Well done 👏🏻
It was the last gardening club of the year and we were very excited to harvest our potatoes that we had grown in a bag. Hope they tasted good 🥔 @rhsgrassroots
A beautiful morning for our annual whole school walk. It was lovely to welcome Sarah from @macmillancancer who joined us on the walk and then we presented her with a cheque for £1250 - an amazing amount that has been raised by our school community from a coffee morning back in October, a book stall and our sponsored walk. Well done and thank you everyone who was able to donate. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
A massive thank you to Jan and Spud the Bike for coming in to tell us all about your epic challenge, cycling from John O Groats to Lands End on your own. It was a truly inspirational talk which gripped the children. One child said “that has really inspired me to continue to work hard at my swimming.” Everyone was so busy listening we only got one picture! Amazing job Jan and Spud 🚲 @tracymindbodyfit
They’re is no Little Lambs playgroup at school tomorrow. We are going on our whole school walk! Why not join us for this, we leave school at 9.15am, walk up Hall Lane and round back to school. 3 miles - all pushchair friendly! We hope to see you in the morning.
What a fantastic day for Key Stage 2! We had a brilliant time Ghyll scrambling in Coniston in the lovely sunshine ☀️ Everyone showed resilience, confidence and determination, whilst cheering on and supporting their group! A huge thank you to Phil and his team at Big Adventure for showing us the way! 🏞️👏
What a lovely morning Herdies have had at the allotment! Blowing bubbles, making garlic bread with freshly harvested garlic and sampling all the food that’s in season. A surprising favourite was the gooseberries as most of the class had never eaten them before. Big big thanks to Emily and Becky for being fantastic allotment hosts and for helping us stay cool 🥒☀️🥦☀️🫛☀️🥬
