I am delighted to welcome you to our website. I hope you have a few moments to spend exploring the site and find useful and interesting information about the school.

Ensuring our children have access to a high-quality and engaging education is our core purpose in order to develop them as lifelong learners.  Central to this are our 5 core values, which underpin everything we do:

• One team – We listen to each other and value each other’s opinions and we do as we are asked first time.
• Respect – We care for each other and look after property.
• Trust – We always tell the truth.
• Community – We treat others as we would wish them to treat us.
• High expectations – We do our best and keep ourselves safe.

Worth Valley Primary School is a reading school. We aim to teach the skills of reading alongside developing a love of language and stories.

“Live an interesting life. Meet people. Read a lot and widely, learn from the great writers.”

Michael Morpurgo

My favourite children’s author is Michael Morpurgo; has been for many years.  I’d choose to read a Michael Morpurgo story over a “grown-up’s” book any day, even though I’m an adult!

Michael Morpurgo’s books tell timeless stories that children can relate to: stories of people coming together, of relationships, of natural disasters, of historical events.  Often the story is told in first person or through a child’s eyes.  More often than not, an animal plays an important role in the story.

If you haven’t read a Michael Morpurgo book, try one; they’re magical.  And if you have… read another.

We are proud to be part of Leading Learners Academy Trust – working in partnership with fantastic children, committed staff and supportive parents to ensure every pupil achieves their best.
