Dear families and friends,

Welcome to Arley Primary School. I hope you enjoy looking around our site and getting to know our school.

We are a small school in the village of Arley. The school is proud to take its place in our community and we remain determined to continue to strengthen as a center of celebration of our rich diversity. We work alongside an extremely active and supportive governing body who encourage the very best for each and every pupil at Arley.

Our aim at Arley is to create an environment that is supportive, friendly and nurturing. When children feel safe, secure and happy, they learn at their very best. We have high expectations for emotional and academic success and children are at the heart of all that we do.

We want children to believe in themselves and have high aspirations. We want children to want to learn and understand that learning opens up a world of endless possibilities. Children at Arley can go on to achieve their goals and aspirations, whatever they may be.

I am proud to lead Arley Primary School as Headteacher and I bring with me a determination to provide the very best education possible for our students. My team and I share a passion for inspiring children to learn and we help to open the door to happy and successful lives.

At Arley, our vision is clear ‘New Beginnings, Endless Possibilities’, as each day begins, endless possibilities lie before us. We would welcome your child to start their new beginning with us.

Mrs K Parkes

Interim Head Teacher
