Carnforth School

Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome to Carnforth. Our website is a small snapshot of what we do. At Carnforth we talk about our Carnforth Community. We are a one form entry, primary school with our own on site Pre-School taking children from 3 to 11 years. At Carnforth we pride ourselves on building strong relationships with a deep understanding of child development and making the first year of primary the very best it can be. We base our curriculum and pedagogy around developing children as the whole person they are. Primary school should build the very best foundations for children as they begin their journey into education and build upon their understanding of self and their place and impact on the world around them. Our school environment is engaging, purposeful and welcoming. We host an environmental garden, Early Years garden, a large playground and playing field.

We are proud to be part of the Black Pear Trust. The school converted to academy status on 1^st August 2017. We are also pleased to be part of the Black Pear Teaching alliance.

As a school we are committed to strive for excellence in learning. We built our school vision around what we do, what we strive to achieve and what we believe in.

The Carnforth Vision:

The careful design of our curriculum is crafted to meet the individual needs of our children, create a sense of adventure, develop transferable skills, acquire knowledge and foster excellence in learning. Our shared belief that learning creates opportunities drives us to create a curriculum which engages and encourages learning as a way of life.
