Vision

At Barlby Community Primary School our intention is to create an environment in which all children are enabled to fulfill their potential and feel pride in their identity. To achieve this, we aim to prepare children to reach their full potential as responsible citizens in an increasingly complex world.

Ethos

Our strong ethos is based on a respect for ourselves and others, equality and a sense of wonder at the world we live in. We are committed to developing the whole child. Our children will have the opportunity to be creative, to be physically active and to be academically challenged.

Another important part of the ethos of our school is that we are a ‘Community’ school. As such, we are always looking to live up to this and all that it means. Our school is regarded by parents as being open and welcoming, with teachers seen as accessible and approachable. We are always interested to hear from parents your views and experience of the school. All feedback, both positive and negative is always welcome.
