Welcome

On behalf of the children, staff and governors may I offer you a warm welcome to our Federation of Follifoot and Spofforth Church of England Primary Schools. We hope you find our website useful, informative and that it gives you a real flavour of what a great place our Federation is to live and learn in.

As a Federation, we have grown since September 2014 retaining the benefits and uniqueness of each village school whilst working effectively in close partnership to ensure children’s personal development, well-being and wider curriculum opportunities are valued as highly as academic progress. Our schools are situated in the heart of each village serving their local communities as well as Harrogate, Knaresborough and Wetherby.

Our Vision of ‘Love, Learn, Thrive’ alongside Christian Values provides the framework for all aspects of school life and underpins the daily experience for everyone in our schools.

Across our Federation we offer the highest quality education and pastoral care within a culture that values each child’s individuality and prepares them effectively as lifelong learners. We want all our children to be excited by learning, to take risks, seek challenge, ask questions and persevere. We are incredibly proud of the rich and varied curriculum on offer to our children. It is our aim to offer the best learning opportunities in a modern world. Children are central to all we do; we strive to make them resilient and to inspire them to achieve their ambitions and dreams. We design our curriculum with this in mind and are constantly reviewing it to suit the needs of the children in each school.

Individual children and their families are important to us. The needs of our children always come first and we work closely with parents building positive relationships that help contribute to the work we do. We recognise the importance of working in partnership with parents and carers and strive to ensure opportunities for parents to be involved in school life.

We aim for our website to provide our parents, carers and families with news, forthcoming events and access to key information as well as showcasing some of the children’s fabulous learning. Visiting our schools is the ideal way to experience and explore our vision for yourself. All our visits are personalised to suit visitors and can be arranged by contacting either school office.

We look forward to welcoming you.
