Welcome to Alveley Primary School

Chair of Governor's Welcome

Welcome to the Alveley Primary School website for the new academic year 2024/25. It provides a range of statutory and general information about the school and also aims to illustrate the wide range of activities which help our pupils learn and develop throughout the year. I hope you will enjoy looking through it and find it useful and informative.

Whenever I visit the school I am impressed by the excellent behaviour of the pupils and their evident enjoyment at being part of the school community. They are ready and motivated to learn and the enthusiasm and hard work of our teachers, teaching assistants and support staff ensures that all our pupils achieve to the very best of their abilities and leave us with the skills and knowledge necessary to make the most of their educational future.

The Year 6 pupils who left us in July did well in their end of Key Stage 2 Standard Assessment Tests with 76% achieving the expected standard in Reading, Writing and Maths compared to a national figure of 61%. This is a great testament to the quality of teaching at Alveley and the application and hard work of our pupils.

The Local Governing Body at Alveley is a dedicated and knowledgeable group of people with an understanding of the operation of the school and a commitment to ensuring that the quality of education offered to our children is excellent. Their support and enthusiasm enhances and strengthens the systems and policies we follow as we continue to thrive.

As governors we also monitor the pastoral support focussed on the social, emotional and mental wellbeing of the pupils and in particular of our most vulnerable children and families. At the heart of this is our school ethos which values all pupils as individuals but with a strong sense of belonging to the school community, encouraging their personal development and building their resilience.

The school is a member of (and very well supported by) TrustED, a Shropshire based Multi Academy Trust. The Local Governing Body of Alveley is made up of trust appointed governors, staff governors and parent governors.
