A bit about us:

Studley Green Primary School is a proud member of EQUA Mead Learning Trust. Our family of like-minded schools collaborate to provide mutual support, share best practice and learn from each other, whilst retaining and developing each school’s distinctive character.  We believe all children and young people have the right to a great education and we seek to improve the life chances of all those we serve; it is our mission to give Every Child, Every Chance of success.

Across our Trust, we want our children and young people to be inspired by their learning, and to instil in them a motivation and aspiration to succeed in all they do. Our schools are highly inclusive and we are proud to have high expectations of our children and young people, encouraging and preparing them to do their very best in their learning both within the curriculum and beyond.

High quality teaching is a priority, coupled with strong nurturing support, where adults genuinely care about the wellbeing of the children and young people in their care. It’s our aim to meet the needs of each child individually and we provide the resources and staff to achieve this. Our dedicated team is committed to providing a wonderfully creative learning environment to fascinate every child.  Aspirations for excellence underpin all that we do; our schools are highly inclusive and we are proud to have high expectations of our children and young people.

Children and young people in our schools are happy and safe, motivated to reach their full potential and equipped to become resilient, independent learners. They are prepared to live responsibly and peacefully in the spirit of understanding, and opportunities to develop their creativity, confidence and communication skills are woven into all aspects of school life.

Inclusion is the beating heart of our organisation, and we cherish it in our staff just like we do in our children. We are committed to creating a workforce that is reflective of our communities and welcome applications from anyone with the skills and experience to do the role they are applying to, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, disability or any other protected characteristic. We recognise the value and contribution every member of our staff makes to our schools, and in return for their dedication and commitment we provide:

•       A clear vision with purpose and values that are supported by all our staff

•       An ambitious and vibrant place to work, with enthusiastic staff and children in all of our schools

•       A highly organised and very supportive team

•       High quality professional development opportunities from Day One

•       A clear, comprehensive induction process

About Us

Studley Green Primary School is a school where we value a child’s character development as much as their academic achievement. We strive to provide every pupil with the best possible learning experience – every single day. We are fully committed to ensuring that every child who comes to Studley Green leaves here at the end of Year 6 as a confident, curious, and resilient learner who is 'secondary-ready.’

We have a unique school at Studley Green, and we are very proud of that. Our ten classes are made up of seven mainstream year groups and three resource base classes that cater to pupils with complex needs and speech and language requirements. This unique structure enables us to offer equality of provision and inclusion for all children, regardless of their difficulties, talents, needs, and characteristics. Our commitment to high aspirations for all is part of the ethos at Studley Green. We value each and every individual and celebrate personal successes every day.

Our school climate is calm, welcoming, and friendly; it is safe and secure—a place where everyone is valued for their special contribution.

We aim to educate for the future, living by our values in everything we do. At Studley Green, becoming a great learner is only half the story; it is equally important to all of us that we help nurture great young people too. Importantly, we see our school as a key part of the wider Studley community and are committed to being a school that is positively involved in the world around us.
