We believe that every child matters and that learning should be fun, purposeful and challenging.

At Apley Wood Primary Academy we are committed to delivering inspirational teaching that develops confident learners. Our pupils take ownership of their learning and are proud of their achievements, preparing them for life in modern Britain.

We are all striving towards the same goal, seeking to meet the best interests of the individual children in our care. We aim to create a safe, nurturing environment for learning whilst offering a creative, exciting and challenging curriculum designed to ‘feed the mind and free the imagination’  for all pupils. This captures the inclusive nature of our school.

All staff focus upon establishing positive relationships with pupils and we hope that, by good example, they will grow up to be respectful, courteous and caring. This supportive climate linked to high expectations of all pupils and a positive reward culture ensure that the children enjoy school, work hard and make progress.

For children to realise their full potential there must be a partnership between home and school. We value the partnership with parents and aim to make ourselves approachable at all times. We recognise that parent support contributes hugely to our pupils’ progress and we want them to understand how we work while also being there to listen and respond to any issues they may have.
