A Warm Welcome…

Welcome to Appleton Primary School where we believe in the value of every child and adult who enters our doors.

We call ourselves the Appleton family and we encourage each person to show value and respect towards one another, work together and strive to be the best they can. We are committed to meeting the needs of all the children in our school. We offer a curriculum which aims to remove barriers to learning by being broad and balanced, enjoyable and engaging for children staff and parents.

Our aim is for every child to be successful, resilient, independent and motived learners in readiness for their next stage of education and beyond.

We hope you enjoy visiting our site.

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.
