A Warm Welcome to Slingsby Community Primary School

Our school is at the heart of a wonderful community, in the picturesque village of Slingsby where we are fortunate to be blessed with wonderful children all eager to learn under the excellent guidance and support of our Head, Mr Leigh Smith and his team, alongside their parents/carers and families.  We have recently received our Ofsted Good accreditation which is a credit to all and shows all the amazing hard work, loyalty and commitment of the children, staff, parents and our community.  Thank you all.
 
Our regularly updated website is here for all to offer useful information about our school community. Here you will find (amongst many other things) our weekly newsletters, policies and procedures, term dates, dates for your diary and much more.

Slingsby Community Primary School is a place where we strive to provide a safe, supportive, nurturing and inclusive environment for all our pupils. All of our teachers and staff work extremely hard and are committed to providing your children with the best possible learning environment and high quality teaching.   

 
Our close links with the community strengthen the friendly, supportive and caring family atmosphere within the school and we follow our Slingsby  Values for Life, which provide us with the skills required throughout life.
 
Slingsby Community Primary School is a school to be proud of, a school where the children enjoy a varied way of learning, be that in lessons, school trips, joint schools sporting activities, visits from famous athletes, the police teaching them about online safety or the fire fighters about fire safety, all topped off with our annual school beach trip.
 
I look forward to working with you all,
 
Best Wishes,
