Welcome to Barlestone Church of England Primary School. We are situated at the heart of the village of Barlestone and have just under 200 children on roll. Our school is located in large, pleasant grounds and has a number of outdoor play facilities including an adventure play area, wooden maze seating, a sensory garden and a large sports field. We have seven large classrooms which are bright, inviting and exciting places to learn and our vision is to inspire, achieve and celebrate together in a Christian learning environment.

Our Values

Barlestone C of E Primary School encourages and promotes Christian Values. Our pupils, governors, staff, parents and community members chose our four key values:

• Friendship – Our school is a happy place where we want the best for everyone, no one will ever be left out.
• Perseverance - We keep trying with everything we do and believe, especially when it’s difficult because we want to succeed.
• Trust – We believe in the people around us, we know how important it is to be a trustworthy member of our school community.
•  Respect – We treat others with politeness and value their lifestyles, beliefs and options. Everyone is unique and should have their voice.

Rise is a family of schools. We work with and for each other.

We currently comprise of 23 CofE and Community primary schools, Great strides have been made and we are proud of the fact that all our schools are now deemed to be’ Good’ in the eyes of Ofsted. We want, however, for that milestone to be a marker on our journey, rather than the destination itself. Our family of schools are all different shapes and sizes, serving rich and varied communities and that is one of the many things we love about our Trust.

Our vision and our values show how we place great importance on what we do and how we do it. Our values underpin our interactions with each other and strengthen our sense of family. Children are placed at the heart of everything we do. Our team of staff are skilled, hardworking and committed to developing all of your child, not just their academic ability. We recognise that success for every child will be different and we celebrate this.

We are developing and maturing as a Trust. We are ambitious. We are evolving into a Trust that is led by schools for schools. Our headteachers and talented subject leaders play an active role in Trust and school improvement. Our central team are committed to serving schools in a manner that enables them to be great schools, doing great things that enable every child in a Rise school to both ‘flourish and succeed’; and ensuring that our colleagues and communities thrive in a similar way.

Our family of schools are all different shapes and sizes, serving rich and varied communities and that is one of the many things we love about our Trust.
