Welcome to Shafton Primary Academy and the start of your child’s educational journey. We are a proud member of Lift Schools, our MAT.

We are a Good school, with Outstanding leadership and Outstanding Early Years education.

Here at Shafton Primary Academy, we welcome all children and families. The children in at our school are happy, confident, fun loving and energetic.

They are passionate about their learning, be it in the traditional classroom or through their drama, music and sports.

Please take a look at our video below which shows our school in action. Count the smiling faces!

At Shafton Primary Academy each member of staff has a love of teaching. They develop and inspire the children to enable them to reach their full academic potential. It is our goal to teach them in a way in which they are fully engaged and excited by their education, not just some times but all of the time.

Shafton Primary Academy is a very caring community. We embrace our lovely village and our families but also feel part of our larger family trust Lift Schools. We are a small village school which allows us to really get to know each and every one of our children. In turn, they feel a strong sense of belonging.

Please call in and visit us. You will be able to see our academy in action, see the children settled, happy and working hard in our beautiful building.

You are most welcome.

Mrs J Charalambous & Miss S Margereson,

Principals

It’s impossible to overstate the difference that a good teacher can make in a child’s life. You will be the person to set pupils on the road to success. You will be the person to see a struggling pupil’s eyes light up when they realise for the first time that, yes, they really can do this.

With a good teacher, a child whose family has always been wary of school can discover the joy of learning. With a good teacher, a child battling low self-esteem can begin to recognise their own potential.

Every single adult in a school has the potential to transform lives for the better. That’s why talented people are our lifeblood. We could not do what we do without you. Our ambition to give every one of our pupils the best possible start in life means nothing without the teachers and teaching assistants in our classrooms, and the senior leaders and admin teams in the school office. We attract dynamic people, and we give our team members the space to reimagine what’s possible. That’s why your career is as important to us as it is to you. We want you to develop, we want you to grow, and we want you to feel valued.

We believe every child deserves the best education possible, regardless of background, geography or ability. We want to see them fulfil their potential - at school and beyond.

• We will provide an excellent education to every child, in every classroom, every day.
