Welcome to Crosby-on-Eden C of E Primary School
Crosby-on-Eden C of E Primary School is a small school with a 3-11 age range. The school converted to Academy Status in November 2012. We are a church school in which ‘all pupils and adults are treated with respect, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, and love.’ (SIAMS 2022). The school has excellent links with the church, local community and cluster schools. We are highly committed to working effectively and constructively in partnership with parents. Our Trustees are involved in every aspect of school life and work effectively to ensure dynamic leadership, high standards and sound management. We have an exceptional school that values and invests in every member of the school community. Crosby-on-Eden Primary School is vibrant, exciting and led with vision, honesty and purpose. ‘Relationships are a strength of the school. Adults provide excellent role models to the pupils. Pupils’ behaviour is excellent, and they show respect and kindness to one another. This reflects the schools’ vision and core values. The school has prioritised the promotion of positive mental health for all. They make sure no one goes unnoticed and support is given if needed.’ (SIAMS 2022)
In 2013, Crosby-on-Eden School was judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The inspection highlighted: ‘The school provides a rich set of experiences to enhance pupils’ understanding of the wider world. These opportunities help pupils to become confident and responsible citizens’ (Ofsted, June 2024)
We are proud of our school and everyone in it.
Headteacher: Miss Keitch
