Our little village primary school is filled with life, love and learning. Situated in the heart of Snarestone village, surrounded by beautiful rural countryside and by the Ashby Canal, we are close to the historic town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch in North West Leicestershire.

Snarestone is a friendly, welcoming school that can cater for up to 105 pupils aged 4 to 11, which also has a thriving before and after school childcare facility. We currently have three classes, of mixed ability and gender, all vertically grouped: Reception, Year 1 and 2; Years 3 and 4; and Years 5 and 6. Our curriculum is rich, building on sequential knowledge and developing skills in all aspects of learning, including the creative arts.

As a church school, our Christian values lie at the heart of our community: friendship, trust, endurance, hope and wisdom. We share a desire to celebrate and nurture the uniqueness of every single person, treat others as you would expect to be treated yourself, and to celebrate fairness for all. We have a vision of supporting each child to build a secure foundation of ‘values’ for their lives. We have very strong links with our local community, including St. Bartholomew’s Church and our partnership schools.

At Snarestone, we aim to provide a happy, caring, vibrant school that promotes high standards of personal achievement and the opportunity for full social, emotional and spiritual development of all the children in our care. We are exceptionally proud of the caring, family-orientated Christian ethos we share; it is what makes us special.

We were delighted to join Rise Multi Academy Trust on 1st March 2023.

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.
