At St Bees Village Primary School, we are working hard to continue to strengthen the school’s partnership with parents/carers in order to ensure the best outcomes possible as we work together on many aspects of future school development.  We believe whole-heartedly that good relationships between teachers, children and parents are fundamental to the success of any school and the progress of children.    

We believe that all children should enjoy learning, be actively engaged in their learning and know what experiencing success looks and feels like.  We believe children should be motivated, make consistent progress and have high expectations of what they can achieve so they can succeed in their chosen future.  It is without question that we want our children to be the very best that they can be and be valued for who they are. It is from this point that we share the mutual goal of making our school an outstanding provider of education where children feel happy and safe and gain a love of learning that will take them through to adulthood.

We more than welcome visitors as only a personal visit can truly convey the friendly, family feel of the school with a purposeful working atmosphere.

INTRODUCTION FROM OUR HEADTEACHER 

I am the Head Teacher of St Bees Village Primary School.  I am proud to say I was appointed as Headteacher in January 2024 and feel this is a special and rewarding place to work. 

St Bees Village Primary School is a very happy school where everyone works together in a strong team with a common aim – to provide the best education possible for all children. The school is a rural, seaside school where every member of the school community feels valued and respected. St Bees is a caring and inclusive community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all.

The core subjects of mathematics, English and science are at the centre of all we do and we aim to ensure children are equipped with all the key skills they need to be successful learners. Alongside this, we aim to promote the overall well-being of all pupils with opportunities to achieve their full potential through an excellent broad and balanced curriculum. We offer a range of visits and residentials throughout children’s time with us, as well as an array of outdoor learning opportunities in our own grounds and local area.

Our pupils flourish into confident individuals who are questioning, responsible and actively care for others and the environment.

Staff and governors believe that children are entitled to a primary education that offers quality, breadth of experience, standards of excellence and sense of community. They strive to provide a nurturing environment in which children can grow and develop into confident responsible young people, capable of achieving high levels of personal attainment and achievement.
