Welcome to Crown Lane Primary School

 

Welcome to Crown Lane Primary School’s website.

Our aim here is to effectively communicate key information to our community as well as give you a sense of our school values and ethos and provide a window into the children’s daily experience here at Crown Lane.

Our vision is to create an excellent and inclusive school community where children are happy, proud of their achievements and excel in their learning. It is the responsibility of the incredibly passionate, inspirational, and committed staff and governors to ensure our pupils are given the opportunities, motivation and direction they need to achieve and thrive.

"Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)"

"Pupils are keen to demonstrate their Crown Lane 'superpowers' in all that they do. Pupils show resilience, curiosity and reflectiveness"
