School overview

Welcome to Escomb Primary School Key Information Our Curriculum Parents SEND A message from our Head Teacher Thank you for taking an interest in our wonderful school. I am privileged to be Head Teacher at Escomb. The most important thing for me as Head Teacher is that our children and staff are happy and safe – I believe once we get that part right, children will be able to learn and flourish. We are proud of our achievements; of the rich learning opportunities we provide for our children and the teaching which engages all pupils to ensure each and every one of them reaches their potential. Our school values were agreed with our entire school community – children, staff, governors and parents/carers and are as follows: Everyone Welcome – we greet and treat everyone with warmth and kindness. Supportive – we support each other at ALL times and in everything we do. Committed – we are committed to our learning and to being the best version of ourselves we can be. Motivated – we try hard and constantly strive for better. We don't give up! Bright Futures – we know we are expected to shine and that each and every one of us is capable of making a positive and valuable contribution.
