Paston Ridings Primary School sits at the very heart of its community — a place where children and staff feel a strong sense of belonging, purpose and pride. We are a school where every individual is valued, supported and celebrated, and where relationships truly matter.

We inspire our children and our team to aim high, think big and believe in boundless possibilities. Our shared values of aspiration, pride, collaboration, resilience and kindness shape our daily practice to create a positive, inclusive culture where people flourish.

Our thriving school is built on the commitment, passion and expertise of our staff. We believe deeply in child-centred teaching and learning, supported by an enriched curriculum that includes Forest School and swimming in our on-site pool. These opportunities allow staff to teach creatively, develop professionally and make a real difference in children’s lives.

We are committed to supporting your growth, whatever stage of your career you are at. From personalised induction and high-quality professional development to ongoing coaching and support, we want you to become the best version of yourself. You’ll be part of a warm, collaborative team with an approachable leadership group who are visible, involved and  invested in staff wellbeing.

As part of our school community, you’ll find a place to belong, a place to thrive, and a place where your work is valued. We take care of the big things, so you can focus on what matters most — inspiring and nurturing children every day.
