Welcome to our school website. We hope you find the information here helpful and informative and we welcome feedback to continuously improve the way we communicate who we are, what we do, and what we believe.
About our school
Stockbridge Village Primary is a school committed to our School Charter and ‘learning without limits’. This means we believe that there is more in everyone than we think.
Labels for children can inadvertently limit our expectations of them, but here at Stockbridge Village Primary (SVP), we believe every child is intelligent and extraordinary. We want all our children to leave our school with the knowledge, beliefs and skills they will need to lead a flourishing life; and to have the disposition to help others’ to do so too.
To make this happen we believe:
In an ethic of ‘Everybody’.
Children have the right to participate fully in their lives.
Courage and compassion are essential for all learning.
Our curriculum will need to offer all children an unbridled, fearless curiosity for knowledge and understanding of our world.
Our school is a place that will actively grow hopefulness and ambition.
Our school opened in 2011 and we are very proud of our beautiful building. Our team work to provide school in which our children feel safe, trusted and valued with each child treated as a unique person and encouraged to pursue their passions and interests with courage.
In March 2017 our Ofsted Inspection resulted in SVP being graded as good in all areas of School life, with some aspects, including Early Years provision identified as outstanding. We are justifiably proud of this achievement which shows that everyone associated with our school always works very hard for the benefit of all pupils at our school.
We have very high standards of behaviour and manners in school and visitors always comment on the calm and purposeful atmosphere with the building. Our children enjoy school live and we will cherish our relationships. This means we have a joyful school environment.
At SVP, we have a highly committed and professional staff who all work tirelessly to ensure that the high standards at school are continuously maintained, whilst delivering engaging, compelling lessons with a broad curriculum. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum in Nursery and Reception and a expeditionary curriculum from Y1 to Y6.
We hope that the online part of our school gives you some insight into how we work and what we have achieved, should you wish to know more however please contact the school office at stockbridge@knowsley.gov.uk or by telephone on 0151 477 8020 and arrange to come and visit us!
