Welcome to Aycliffe Drive Primary School – a place of nurture, excitement and growth. I am delighted and proud to be the Headteacher of such a unique and vibrant place to learn.

At Aycliffe Drive Primary School, we have a dedicated and passionate team of teachers, who provide a safe and stimulating environment. We strive for pupils to thrive and achieve their full potential. We work with our parents, governors and staff with the one single aim of improving outcomes for all our pupils in all aspects. We plan lessons to address the needs of all pupils, placing high and ambitious expectations at the centre of all learning opportunities.

We have designed our curriculum to provide enriching experiences to develop the whole child, both academically and socially, with the desire for them to make a positive contribution to the society that they live in, both now and in the future. Our curriculum is planned to foster curiosity in pupils, aiming for their interest to be sparked to want to find out more. We want our children to be self-disciplined, lifelong learners.

We have a wonderful learning environment. A number of outdoor spaces surround the school building. We have a forest school that all children regularly visit to support their learning, an adventure playground and lots of playground space.

Ultimately, we provide a happy and safe place where pupils want to learn and enjoy coming to school. This is promoted through our core values, which very much form the fabric of our school.
