Irlam Primary School

Headteacher’s Welcome!

As the Headteacher of Irlam Primary School, I feel privileged and honoured to work in such a supportive, caring environment in which every child is valued and given the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Our school has a real family feel to it as you walk around – and a happy, harmonious ethos pervades throughout.

Our Vision is to be outstanding in all areas – and our three core values of ‘Respect, Achieve, Aspire’ – help us to strive towards this goal. One of our favourite sayings in, ‘Reach for the moon! Even if you don’t get there, you’ll land amongst the stars!’

We have a dedicated, committed and experienced staff who pride themselves in their consistent hard work to provide a safe, stimulating and exciting curriculum for the children – leading to good progress and high standards of teaching and learning.

We also have very supportive parents who work in close partnership with the school in order to ensure that our children have the best possible start to their lifelong learning journey.

Our Governing Body are involved in the life of the school and are committed to support and challenge our work, striving for excellence in all we do.

We boast an extensive range of extra-curricular activities ranging from cookery and gardening – to streetdance and dodgeball! Something for everyone!

But please don’t just take my word for it … we would love you to come and visit us! See for yourself what a wonderful school we are!
