Information about the school

Shorne Church of England Primary School, part of the Aletheia Academies Trust, is a friendly, dynamic and innovative school. We believe in ensuring that each and every member of the school community feels valued, listened to, nurtured and encouraged to see the positive impact they can have on the world. Our children are at the heart of everything we do and we strongly believe in offering each child every opportunity to develop into kind, confident, and compassionate members of society. We are a very friendly and supportive team who firmly believe in the importance of collaboration between and the well-being of colleagues, families and children.

We are located in a beautiful village setting and have 208 children. We are proud to have been graded as a good school by Ofsted in March 2023, and also good as a Church school by SIAMs in February 2018. We pride ourselves on our collaborative ethos, and should you join us we will ensure that you have opportunities for continued professional development, as well as support and friendly faces on a day-to-day basis.

The school has extensive facilities, bright, airy classrooms and attractive school grounds. We believe in the development of the whole child. Whilst we are a Church of England School, our Christian Values are lived by pupils and staff of all faiths and none. Inclusion of all is incredibly important to us at Shorne.

We are proud to be part of the Aletheia Academies Trust. We work regularly and collaboratively with our partner schools to provide a wide range of exciting learning opportunities for our children and staff.
