Welcome to St Bega's Church of England Primary School! We are a very small, but very successful rural primary school set in the beautiful Eskdale Valley. The children come from a variety of backgrounds ranging from farming to professional families. The school has developed physically and academically over the past few years. We work hard to provide the children with a wide variety of experiences to enrich their education, and this is reflected in our 2011 Ofsted. We are currently a lead school in literacy for teacher training students and a leading school for assessment for learning. The children are very welcoming and happy and the school is well supported by families, the local community and businesses. Our aim is to create a secure and enjoyable environment where children become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens through a broad, enriched, creative curriculum. Currently we have 34 children enrolled at the school from Reception age up to Year 6. A pre-school nursery is also held at the school, which is run by Eskdale Nursery. OFSTED says ‘This is a good school. It is an exceptionally happy place that is at the heart of the local community and pupils enjoy school immensely. Behaviour is outstanding in lessons and around the school and pupils feel extremely safe. Pupils thoroughly enjoy learning, parents and carers are very appreciative of the school’s work and staff morale is high. Excellent links with the community, effective teaching and a good curriculum give pupils a really good start to life. These experiences raise pupils’ skills as well as enhancing their awareness of the richness of their local environment and broadening their horizons and understanding of the wider world.’ Quote from a parent of the school...."a well rounded education from a committed staff in a very happy school" ******************************************************************************************************************** |
