Welcome to Grasmere Primary School!
We are a close-knit, family-focused, one-form entry primary school, offering a warm and friendly environment where our community comes together. At Grasmere, children feel safe and happy, supported by clear systems and caring staff who are always ready to help. I am thrilled to have joined the Grasmere team this academic year and look forward to building on the school’s strengths as we enter an exciting new chapter of growth and development.
Our priority is to nurture healthy, happy children while fostering a strong sense of community—because at Grasmere, we are always growing!
We are dedicated to ensuring every child gets the best possible start in life. By encouraging enthusiasm and confidence in learning, we help children thrive academically, creatively, and emotionally. Our curriculum is innovative and tailored to reflect the diverse communities we serve. As an inclusive school, we are committed to helping every child achieve their full potential.
Grasmere is deeply connected to the local community, and we take pride in our strong partnerships with parents and carers to secure the best outcomes for all our children.
We warmly invite you to visit us and discover more about what makes Grasmere a wonderful place for your child to grow and learn.
