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’ve had a great day outdoors today, we’ve been learning how to put our bike helmets on properly, use our balance bikes, play tennis in PE and spot a squirrel when taking a 5 minute break! What a fun day of learning.
A huge well done to our eight Year 3/4 students who attended the Tri-Golf competition at @thelakesschoolwindermere this afternoon! 🏌️ They all played brilliantly and worked great as a team, supporting and cheering each other on! Thank you to The Lakes School for organising this, we had a great time ☀️⛳️
Lots of learning outdoors for Romneys today! We sketched our final William Morris inspired designs, using nature to help us before we progress onto Lino printing next week. Along with a @crosscurricularorienteering maths lesson to consolidate our learning on converting units of measure! A fantastic end to another busy week in Staveley School! 🏃🏻♀️✏️🌸
Jacob class had a brilliant time today looking at which animals live in the jungle and which live in the rain forest. The children placed their animals around our lovely school grounds in areas that looked similar to the real thing! They were also shown an Orange-tip butterfly egg on the underneath of a cuckoo flower. What a fabulous day of outdoor learning.
Come and join us for some Pre- School Fun. If you would like to know more please contact school 01539 821218 No need to book - we hope to see you there ☀️
