Staveley CE Primary School, Brow Lane, Staveley, Cumbria LA89PH

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.

Thank you so much to Sheila who comes in to hear readers on Tuesday afternoons. This week she brought in a game called 24 (she loves maths like we do!) and the whole class played. You had to make 24 using all the numbers on the card and be the first to get it right. It got quite heated but we loved it! 2️⃣4️⃣

Thank you so much to Healthy Hearts for visiting Year 5 & 6 yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about how amazing our hearts are and how we can make healthy choices to look after them. Look out for our posters which let people know how to keep their hearts healthy too! ❤️ @british_heart_foundation

A super busy half term at Staveley CE Primary School. Lots of time outside - come rain ☔️ or shine ☀️ Sports - cricket, pickleball, bowling, skiing. Science, Music, Geography, Art, DT, PE to name a few subjects we cover. Visitors, experiences and just enjoying time together and in our local community. So many great things to enhance our children’s learning and experiences. #villageschool #community

Today has been the final day that Jacob class have been learning all about bees. They have loved making clay bees and finding out some interesting facts. Did you know there are over 25,000 species of bee? We managed to find 4 different ones in our playground whilst on a bee hunt today. What a great finish to the half term!

Wow, what an exciting and sporty morning we’ve had! We had a great time with Epic Kidz Charity who gave us the opportunity to practise the Triathlon sports (Swimming, Cycling and Running) all in our fantastic school grounds. Everyone worked hard in their teams and cheered each other on, including our Key Stage 2 staff who gave it their best go! What a brilliant way to end the half term ☀️🚲🏃🏻🏊

The Swaledales had a brilliant morning in the drizzle for #outdoorclassroomday today. First we walked the boundary of our whole school and then hunted for as many different habitats as we could. Next we started our new maths topic on measuring length. We had a ‘find the longest and shortest stick’ competition, put our sticks in order of size and then had fun trying to find our own special stick out of a pile. We had a great morning 🥰🍃🌿🌧️

Huge thanks to Jane from South Lakes Farm Experiences for coming to see the Swaledales today to talk to us about where our food comes from, different types of sheep and the best place for them to live, showing us some of her equipment and sharing some woolly crafts with us. It was a fab afternoon and we learnt so much. #southlakesfarmexperiences

Herdwicks had a brilliant but very wet walk around Craggy Woods as part of our rainforest topic! We identified a variety of plants, trees, moss and lichens that are found in an Atlantic temperate rainforest.🌳 🍃 🌱 #outdoorlearningday
