Welcome

On behalf of the Governors, staff and children, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to Alston Primary School.

At Alston, every child is valued as an individual because every child matters. We are committed to providing a caring, inclusive and nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe and inspired to learn. We believe that happy children become engaged learners, and we strive to provide exciting opportunities that spark curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning.

We are passionate about educating the whole child. Alongside academic success, we support our children to develop the confidence, character, resilience and independence they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Our CARES values are at the heart of everything we do and we encourage our children to be Creative, Aspirational, Respectful, committed to Excellence and Supportive of one another. Alongside our school expectations to Be Safe, Be Engaged and Be Respectful, these values shape our culture, guide our learning and help every child to fulfil their potential.

 We value the strong partnerships we build with parents and carers and believe that, by working together, we can provide the very best opportunities for our children. As a proud member of Leigh Trust, we are part of a family of 7 schools that collaborate to share expertise, develop innovative practice and secure the very best outcomes for every child.

We hope you enjoy exploring our website and learning more about our wonderful school. Better still, come and visit us to see Alston in action. We look forward to welcoming you to our school community.
