Head Teacher

On behalf of all the pupils, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you to the Brierley Primary School website. Choosing the right primary school for your child can be one of the hardest decisions that we as parents have to make…and it can feel a little daunting.

All schools (including us) say the same things – ‘We provide a safe and secure environment’, ‘We believe in close links with parents’ etc. Whilst it is true that all schools are similar in wanting the best for the children in their care, it is also true that all schools are unique. We do it the way we think is best for our community. Our school is all about our children and their learning, but we also invest a vast amount of time into making sure that the professionals who work with them are able to keep their skills sharp.

Everyone at Brierley works very hard to make our school a happy and creative place for the children to flourish and grow. We aim to provide our children with skills that they will need for the rest of their lives. We believe in traditional values but we are always aware that we are preparing the children for today and tomorrow (not yesterday). Our emphasis is on developing knowledge and skills and teaching children how to improve their own learning and how to live harmoniously with others.

The primary years of education are the most important in a child’s learning journey and at the centre of their future development. It is a time when we aim to nurture in children a lifelong love of learning. In leading children on this journey we pride ourselves on making the route fun, exciting and enjoyable.

Thank you for your interest in our school. We are very proud of all our children and staff.  If you would like to visit the school or to ask any questions please contact us for an informal chat.

Nurture, Aspire, Believe, Achieve

At Brierley Primary School, we nurture every child in a caring and supportive environment where they feel safe, valued and happy.

We encourage children to aspire - to aim high, explore new ideas and develop a love of learning.

We help them to believe in themselves, building confidence, resilience and self-worth.

And we support every child to achieve their very best, celebrating effort, progress and success along the way.

Together, we nurture, aspire, believe and achieve - every day.
