A Warm Welcome…
It is a real privilege to welcome you to Appleton Primary School.
At Appleton, we are proud to be a warm, inclusive and ambitious school where every child is known, valued and encouraged to achieve their very best. Our vision, Together we ASPIRE to Learn for Life, reflects our commitment to ensuring that our children not only achieve academically, but develop the confidence, character and skills they need to thrive now and in the future.
Our ASPIRE values sit at the heart of school life, and through The Appleton Way, we encourage everyone in our school community to be Ready, Respectful and Responsible. Together, these provide the foundations for a positive culture where children feel safe, happy and excited to learn.
Strong relationships with our families and wider community are incredibly important to us, and I look forward to working together as we continue to build an Appleton we can all be proud of.
Thank you for visiting our website and for taking an interest in our wonderful school.

Online Safety
We have a dedicated webpage that shows a wide selection of advice for children, parents and carers on the safe use of technology and the internet.
Our Trust includes primary, secondary and an alternative provision school working together to provide the best learning opportunities for the pupils within our network of schools.
Each school serves its own community and has its own unique identity. Together we benefit from working in partnership, share good practice and have a joint central service support team.
WE ALL SHINE BRIGHTER TOGETHER
