A message from the head teacher...

Here at the Croft we are more than a school, we welcome our community of families to join us on a learning journey which celebrates traditions yet embraces the future - equipping our students with the skills and drive for their next steps. We value all aspects of education and nurture each child’s individual talents. The years of proven experience means you can rely on us!

The Croft Primary school has been at the heart of the community since it first opened its doors in 1914. The decades of experience shines through and provides an excellent environment where both children’s personal development and academic success are nurtured. With a dedicated and passionate team of staff, this family-orientated school aims to provide an inclusive, nurturing, caring and aspirational learning journey for all. Pupils feel valued and recognise their role in the wider school community. 

The Croft Primary School is where tradition and ambition help pupils to thrive.

With more than 100 years of experience educating our community, we always prioritise quality, creativity and character development of students. - putting children’s well-being at the heart of the curriculum.

We are a one-form entry primary school, in the heart of the village of Armitage. Our children enjoy coming to school where our happy and caring environment enables them to excel. We work hard to promote high achievement and learning for life in all children, through an ethos of support, challenge and encouragement. We provide a wide range of academic, sporting, musical and community activities which enrich our curriculum and celebrate success in all. At the Croft, we put children and their families first and are dedicated to working with our community to provide our children with the very best start. All of our staff place a high-value on the relationship between home, school and the wider community.

We are caring,  courageous,  creative... we are The Croft.

I am so proud to be the headteacher here at The Croft Primary School and along with all our staff we take a family-centered approach. You will always find me out on the school gates... I look forward to welcoming you!
