"In the early years, the learning environment is purposeful and inviting. Activities are both fun and meaningful. For example, in the Nursery, staff used the story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ imaginatively so that children made and tasted porridge, fixed Baby Bear’s chair with different materials in a ‘crime scene’ area and plotted a suitable punishment for Goldilocks’ behaviour through writing and drawing tasks." - OfSTED July 2024
"The Early Years provision is exceptionally well designed, featuring an expansive outdoor area that is utilised effectively. The outdoor environment mirrors the indoor setting, thoughtfully incorporating all areas of the EYFS curriculum." - School Improvement Partner (SIP) Report to Governors (Autumn 2026)
Welcome
Welcome to Stanley Primary School and Stanley Pre-School. I am very proud to share with you some information about our wonderful school.
Stanley Primary School is a vibrant, busy school where children are highly valued as individuals, well cared for and encouraged to reach their potential.
You will see from our school performance, that our children consistently perform highly when compared with national averages, particularly those reaching higher levels. Whilst doing this we also place huge importance on a well rounded curriculum and a wide range of opportunities for all of our children.
Our School values of: responsibility, empathy, aspiration, contribution, resilience and happiness run through school life and more information can be found in our 'school values' section of the website.
The children are at the heart of every decision we make, ensuring that they are happy and confident, and the opportunities that are provided are relevant to their needs both now and in the future.
Mr. Simon Hawley | Headteacher
