It is my pleasure to welcome you to Arley Primary Academy. Our school is a member of the Inspire Education Trust of seven primary schools and one secondary school. The other schools are: Blue Coat CofE School, Clifford Bridge Academy, Frederick Bird Academy, Hearsall Community Academy, Stockingford Academy, Walsgrave CE Academy and Whittle Academy

Arley Primary Academy is a popular primary school within the heart of New Arley village.

We are all positive about the autonomy and independence that comes with our schools being a group of academies working together. The schools are accountable to a ‘Board of Directors’ and the ‘Local Governing Committee’.

At Inspire Education Trust we are passionate about making a difference to the lives of our children. They are at the heart of everything we do and we strive to inspire all learners and we want all our schools to be the best they can be and for each child to discover the skills, abilities, talents and interests that lie within them.

The schools have a desire to question, change and innovate to ensure that what they provide enables our children to become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

We believe in working in partnership, enabling us to ensure all children to achieve their full potential. Our schools know the impact that working collaboratively can bring.

At the same time, we recognise the importance for each school to retain and promote their individual identity. Every school has its own context and challenges. This is why we encourage our member schools to lead and manage in a way that preserves that individual identity and responds to the specific needs of their children and community.

The combination of autonomy and collaboration across key areas of leadership and management, underpinned by shared vision, values and best practice is what makes our schools special.

We want to work in partnership with parents and carers and will provide regular opportunities for you to come into school. We have an open door policy and all problems and concerns will be promptly dealt with.

I hope to see your children regularly when I am in school to share and celebrate with them their hard work, efforts and achievements and I look forward to seeing you in the near future!

Dear families and friends,

Welcome to Arley Primary Academy. I hope you enjoy looking around our site and getting to know our school.

We are a small Academy in the village of Arley. The Academy is proud to take its place in our community and we remain determined to continue to strengthen as a center of celebration of our rich diversity. We work alongside an extremely active and supportive governing body who encourage the very best for each and every pupil at Arley.

Our aim at Arley is to create an environment that is supportive, friendly and nurturing. When children feel safe, secure and happy, they learn at their very best. We have high expectations for emotional and academic success and children are at the heart of all that we do.

We want children to believe in themselves and have high aspirations. We want children to want to learn and understand that learning opens up a world of endless possibilities. Children at Arley can go on to achieve their goals and aspirations, whatever they may be.

I am proud to lead Arley Primary Academy as Headteacher and I bring with me a determination to provide the very best education possible for our students. My team and I share a passion for inspiring children to learn and we help to open the door to happy and successful lives.

At Arley, our vision is clear ‘New Beginnings, Endless Possibilities’, as each day begins, endless possibilities lie before us. We would welcome your child to start their new beginning with us.

Mrs K Parkes

Head Teacher
