Welcome to Alveley Primary School

Chair of Governor's Welcome

Welcome to the Alveley Primary School website for the new academic year 2026/27. In addition to providing a range of statutory and general information about the school it also illustrates the broad range of activities through which our pupils learn and develop throughout their time with us. 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 achieved strong outcomes in their end of Key Stage 2 assessments. 70% of pupils achieved the expected standard in Reading, Writing and Mathematics combined, exceeding the national figure by 7%. Attainment was particularly strong in Reading and Writing, with 85% of pupils meeting the expected standard in both subjects, while 80% achieved the expected standard in Mathematics and Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling. These results reflect the high quality of teaching and learning across the school, as well as the commitment, resilience and hard work shown by our pupils throughout their time at Alveley.

The Local Governing Body 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 advice enhances and strengthens the systems and policies we follow as we continue to flourish. As governors we also monitor the pastoral support focussed on the social, emotional and mental wellbeing of the pupils and in particular that 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. One line in our successful summer 2025  Ofsted inspection report summed the school up thus:- “Alveley Primary School is a small school with a big heart. Pupils are surrounded by care and high expectations.”

The school is one of the TrustED family of schools and receives excellent support from this Shropshire based Multi Academy Trust. The Local Governing Body at Alveley is made up of trust appointed governors, staff governors and parent governors.
