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.

Headteacher

What a lovely day for learning outdoors. We even managed hot chocolate and marshmallows in our outdoor classroom. Just another gorgeous day of learning in Jacob Class.
We’ve had the best morning welcoming John and his fantastic animals from the Creepy Crawly Roadshow into our classroom! We’ve also had some super playful lambs in our playground (and classroom sshh!) Thank you to the families who loaned us the lambs and your hard work organising this and thank you to all our preschool friends for joining us. It’s been fantastic 🐑🐍🕷️
It’s our preschool animal adventures morning this morning. We will be welcoming a lamb and the creepy crawly experience to our classroom this morning. Why not come and join us at 10am to see our lovely school and join the teddy bears on their picnic. The session runs 10am- 11:30 am.
Herdies got messy in our science lesson this afternoon! As part of our States of Matter topic, we investigated how some materials can be both solids AND liquids, by making Oobleck! We found when we applied pressure to the Oobleck it was a solid, however, when we released the pressure it changed into a liquid 🧑🔬
The rain didn’t stop us this afternoon at Golf Club! 🌧️Another fantastic session, this week joined by Adam and Kyle from @carusgreengolfclub @adamlynn_pga 🏌️⛳️ We aimed for different targets, including a moving hoop, which was a challenge but lots of fun! 👏
