We are a small, unique village primary school set in the peaceful rolling hills of the highly sought after east Leicestershire rural countryside. We are part of the RISE Trust.

Being an integral part of the local community allows our school children to learn the neighbourly values that bring people together as part of a wider family, providing a framework of social responsibility which equips them for later life.

Our mission as a Church of England primary school, deeply rooted in a strong Christian tradition, is to develop happy, young people with enquiring minds, a spirit of curiosity, respect for themselves, others and the environment so that they will have the skills, resilience and adaptability to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

The bible verse that sets our mission statement in context comes from the words of Jesus: " I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10. It is this flourishing in the love and grace of God that will enable our children to be wise, hopeful, live well together with dignity and respect in God's world.

Pupils are taught by dedicated, professional and highly experienced staff, in caring classes. There is regular support from visiting professionals including music teachers and Physical Education coaches.

Classrooms are well equipped and have good interactive and online facilities. Our library is stocked for all ages and abilities and we have a dining hall and on-site kitchen for the preparation of school lunches.

Outside spaces include a large playground and playing field, a separate play area for our younger pupils, a garden and greenhouse, quiet reflective seating areas and a recently developed wildlife area, complete with ducks hatched by pupils of one of our classes.

Tugby Village Hall, with its indoor and all-weather outdoor sports facilities, is used by our children for PE, musical productions and Prizegiving, older pupils travel to Uppingham School Sports Centre for swimming lessons.

The nearby, historical St. Thomas a Becket Church is used by the school for achievement assemblies, formal occasions and church services, including the Nativity and Harvest Festival and musical events including the popular Summer Concert.

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.
