Upper Arley C of E Primary School is set in a breathtaking location close to the River Severn and the Severn Valley Railway in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside.  Our inclusive ethos and family feel enables all children to feel valued and nurtured every step of the way on their school journey.  Foundations are built in our busy Nursery class and grow throughout our school. Our continuous provision and inspirational outdoor learning environment encourages exploration, creativity and a thirst for learning.   

Supported by our dedicated team and well-crafted curriculum design, children grow and learn to become inquisitive, independent and successful.  Our values guide and illustrate to the children how they can make responsible decisions. show compassion and kindness, as well as take risks and build resilience.  We have strong links with the local community, including St Peter’s Church and Arley Arboretum, to provide more inspiration, support our Christian distinctiveness and appreciation of the wonderful natural world which surrounds us.  

Through our vision of ONE COMMUNITY, LEARNING AND GROWING TOGETHER SHARING GOD’S LOVE, we recognise everyone as a child of God, through this learning, we encourage all to grow in their learning, so that everyone can achieve and flourish in all they do.

“I can do all this through Christ because he gives me strength”
