Welcome to Tushingham-with-Grindley C of E Primary School

Headteacher's Welcome

I extend a very warm welcome to Tushingham-with-Grindley Church of England Primary School. Our small primary school for 3-11 year olds, is a happy, safe and stimulating place to learn, situated in beautiful rural surroundings. We strive for the highest academic, artistic, sporting and social successes for our pupils, recognising and celebrating the individuality and achievements of all. We enjoy strong links with St Chad's church, our caring Christian ethos being the golden thread through everything we do. 'Let us love one another for love is from God' (1 John 4:7 ) - 'Learning and Worshipping together' is the visionary drive behind how staff and pupils live, learn and worship on a daily basis with us all striving to follow 'The Tushingham Way'. We aim to develop both the academic, social and life skills of our children within a caring Christian environment.

We pride ourselves on giving our pupils a rich and varied education of the highest quality that is challenging, creative and fun. We deliver an exciting curriculum, enhanced by visits out of school and exciting activities and workshops held in school. Our staff are experienced and highly committed. We aspire to the highest standards in achievement and attainment for all, celebrating and fostering the talents of all our children. We pride ourselves on our warm, welcoming and inclusive environment, where every child is cherished and their talents nurtured. We encourage our children to achieve their fullest selves and the highest outcomes of which they are capable, right across the curriculum.

We have a very supportive school community: relationships between staff, children, parents and governors are respectful, effective and purposeful. Being a small school, we get to know our children and families really well. Together, we aim to develop the full potential of every child and to ensure that children are happy and proud of their achievements. Working in partnership with school, our families are extremely encouraging, helping children to learn and flourish. At Tushingham, we actively encourage interaction between children of all ages and endeavour to keep our school as one large family, respecting each other and valuing all children as individuals.

I am privileged to work at Tushingham and I am incredibly proud of our school.
