Together we can...
WELCOME TO
Cleves Cross Primary School.
‘Education should develop children’s personality and talents to the full’ (UNCRC Article 29)
On behalf of the staff, governors and children, I would like to welcome you to Cleves Cross Primary and Nursery School. I feel very privileged and proud to be the Head Teacher of this wonderful school, especially after starting my career here as a newly qualified teacher.
Our school nurtured me on my journey throughout my teaching career and allowed me to flourish, thrive and succeed. This is exactly what we want for all of our children.
Our aim is to provide children with a nurturing and supportive environment that allows all learners to thrive and to become responsible and respectful members of our school, our local community and the wider world.
We strive for all of our children to become lifelong learners, to be aspirational and to be the very best version of themselves that they can be. We actively promote our Rights Respecting ethos and our values of Care, Ambition, Respect, Resilience and Teamwork through everything we do in school.
We really value the role that parents and carers play in their children’s learning and encourage them to participate in school life. Our motto of ‘Together we can…’ rightly tells us all that the strong partnerships we develop help children in their educational journey.
Our website aims to give you a taster of school life, as well as providing regular updated information. If you would like to find out more about our school, then please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a visit.

A hot week for Year 4 this week ☀️😅
They have been absolutely amazing despite the heat. We had a brilliant visit from Guy at Bugs and Stuff, where everyone got to meet some incredible Amazon rainforest animals. It was the perfect inspiration for our English writing on The Great Kapok Tree! 🐍🕷️ We also showed great determination and resilience when completing our quad kids.
To finish off the week, we got stuck into our vibrant batik designs in art, while enjoying quick breaks at our cooling station. To top it all off, the children were absolutely delighted to end the day with a lovely cool treat from Mrs Brentnall!🍦 ... See MoreSee Less

This afternoon, Year 6 enjoyed a lovely parent storytime session in the school library 📚✨
It was wonderful to welcome parents into the library to share stories together and take part in engaging book-based activities. The children thoroughly enjoyed listening, discussing their favourite parts, and completing creative tasks inspired by the stories.
A big thank you to all the parents who joined us and helped make the afternoon so special — a fantastic celebration of reading. ... See MoreSee Less
