Headteachers Welcome
Welcome to Lawley Primary School. I am very proud to be the Headteacher here, supported by a highly skilled and dedicated team of teachers and support staff. In our school we learn together with determination and resilience to be the best we can be! Everyone has a responsibility at Lawley as either Teacher or Learner, and we believe through our school motto that, “Discovery Unites Us!”
Lawley Primary continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of our community. We are a two-form entry primary school with 426 pupils currently on roll, and we are delighted to have recently expanded our provision further with the opening of our new nursery. This exciting development allows us to welcome children into the Lawley family even earlier, providing high-quality early years education and ensuring a strong foundation for learning from the very start of their school journey.
In addition, we are proud to have been early adopters of an enhanced Breakfast Club offer. This provision supports our families by providing a safe, nurturing start to the school day, promoting wellbeing, positive routines and readiness to learn. It reflects our commitment to supporting the whole child and the wider needs of our community.
I hope that you find our website informative and that it gives you an insight into the values and vision that underpin learning in our school.
The whole school community at Lawley has high expectations for our children and strives to ensure they leave school as confident, polite and independent young people, equipped with the appropriate skills, values and knowledge to become successful in whatever their future may hold. We aspire to instil in all our children a desire to never stop learning and to have the courage to succeed in whatever they do, across all areas of school life and beyond. At Lawley, we are “Planting the seeds, growing the future.”
Our school is dedicated to providing the best possible education in a stimulating and safe environment. Our curriculum vision places the development of English, Maths, Science and the wider curriculum at its core. Alongside this, we develop the attributes children need to be effective learners, as these are the essential life skills required to access future learning. Our children, from Years 2–6, benefit from 1:1 devices (iPads), which teachers use to deliver resources through an adaptive teaching approach, ensuring all learners can access and engage fully in every lesson.
At Lawley Primary we are all building learning power. Our children learn exceptionally well through practical, ‘hands-on’ learning opportunities. Our broad and balanced curriculum is taught through topics and themes of study where appropriate. We value a rigorous cross-curricular approach to learning, and the curriculum is planned systematically through year group curriculum maps to ensure full coverage of the National Curriculum.
At Lawley Primary School we agree with the Department for Education’s five-part definition of British Values and believe it is incredibly important that these values permeate every school in the country. At Lawley Primary, you will encounter these values throughout everyday school life, through our promotion of Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural understanding, and through our school values of Happiness, Courage, Respect, Friendship and Responsibility.
The school continues to promote strong links with the wider community and benefits from a very supportive and active Parent, Teacher and Friends Association (PTFA). If you have any questions or suggestions, wish to become a committee member, or would like to support events in any way, please do get in touch via their Facebook page @LawleyPTFA.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school community.
Mrs C. A. McQuiggin
