As Headteacher of Brightwalton C.E. Primary School, I am proud to lead a school that combines a nurturing, small-school atmosphere with a broad, ambitious curriculum. We believe every child is unique, fostering a love of learning through rich academic experiences and a variety of extra-curricular opportunities. Our bright classrooms and spacious outdoor areas, including a well-being garden, create an ideal environment for children to thrive.
Supported by our experienced staff and fantastic Governors, children make strong progress academically, socially, physically, and spiritually. We work closely with parents, building strong partnerships to ensure the best outcomes for every child. Leadership roles and responsibilities help develop confidence and resilience, encouraging children to take risks and grow.
As a Church of England school, our vision to "shine as a light in the world for the good of others" is central, guided by our values of Service, Perseverance, Wisdom, Friendship, and Trust.
We are an inclusive community and embrace a broad understanding of spirituality, enriching key subjects like Art, Music, PE, and RE. In addition to competitive sports, we offer 1:1 and whole-class music lessons, and French through specialist teachers. Our children can access a range of sports clubs, podcast club, Lego club and many more.
Our popular wraparound care from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. supports busy families by providing a variety of engaging activities, including cooking, crafts, and sports, ensuring a fun and enriching environment beyond the school day.
We warmly invite you to visit and see how our children flourish. Please contact the school office to arrange a visit.
