Calthwaite CofE School

Welcome to our distinctly rural school, where we strive to prepare our entire school family for fruitful lives by cultivating the soil and inspiring growth. Our ultimate goal is to harvest flourishing individuals who are equipped to succeed in all aspects of their lives.

Our school’s vision takes inspiration from the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23), where we believe that even the smallest seeds can have great potential when given a rich and nourishing environment to thrive in. We celebrate the uniqueness of each individual and enjoy blossoming together in a joyful, respectful, and compassionate school community.

Our school creed reflects our values and aspirations. We aim to inspire opportunities for compassionate leadership and cultivate happy, healthy, and fruitful lives. With God’s good soil, we strive to create rich and joyful experiences and open the gate to possibilities in our community. Together, we work with respect to plant the seeds of knowledge.

Our school aims are based on the four Church of England principles for education. We aim to shape the whole child by educating for wisdom, knowledge, and skills, hope and inspiration, community and living well together, and dignity and respect.

We believe that with a supportive and nurturing environment, every child has the potential to flourish and achieve their dreams. We look forward to welcoming you to our school community and working together to inspire growth and success.
