Abbeyfield Primary Academy

A Child-Centred Approach to Education

At Abbeyfield Primary Academy, we place pupils at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our ethos, “respectful, ambitious, happy and safe,” we foster an environment where every child feels valued and supported. This commitment is reflected in our inclusive culture and strong pastoral care, ensuring that students thrive academically and personally. We encourage our staff to embrace innovative teaching methods while maintaining a nurturing atmosphere that prioritizes well-being alongside achievement.

A Diverse and Inclusive Community

We celebrate diversity and inclusion, welcoming children from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities. Our Poverty Pledge ensures that financial barriers never limit a child’s opportunities. We subsidise educational visits so every pupil can experience enriching trips, and we provide free after-school clubs to support learning and well-being beyond the classroom. These initiatives reflect our belief that every child deserves equal access to high-quality education and experiences, regardless of their circumstances.

Professional Growth and Supportive Leadership

As part of the Five Rivers Multi Academy Trust, we provide strong leadership and resources to drive continuous improvement. Our staff work collaboratively under the guidance of an experienced senior team. The trust’s commitment to professional development means our employees have access to training opportunities, mentoring, and a supportive network that values career progression and innovation in teaching.

A Vibrant Learning Environment

We offer a rich curriculum that blends core subjects with creative and extracurricular activities, from STEM clubs to music and drama programs. This holistic approach ensures pupils develop academically, socially, and emotionally. For educators, this means the chance to engage in dynamic teaching practices and contribute to a culture that values curiosity and creativity. Our emphasis on enrichment makes Abbeyfield an exciting place to work for those who want to inspire beyond the classroom.

Community Engagement and Shared Vision

We are deeply rooted in our local community, fostering strong relationships with families and stakeholders. Regular events, open evenings, and transparent communication create a sense of belonging for both pupils and staff. Joining Abbeyfield means becoming part of a team that shares a clear vision: to empower every child to reach their full potential in a respectful, ambitious, happy and safe environment.
