On behalf of all the staff, pupils and governors, welcome to Sherdley Primary School’s website! As the newly appointed Headteacher, I am proud to lead a passionate and dedicated team of colleagues in a warm, nurturing environment; a place where our Sherdley family can thrive. Our staff truly do have the best interests of your children at heart and will always strive to go the extra mile for them. As a school, we believe that every child deserves an outstanding primary school experience, and we are in the privileged position to help make that a reality. With our vision of “Growing together, respecting each other”, and our core values of Aspiration, Potential, Resilience, Challenge, and Family woven into everything we do, we aim to provide memorable learning experiences that prepare our pupils not just academically, but as confident, well-rounded citizens ready for their journey beyond Sherdley.
We are an inclusive school on a journey of excellence, and we understand that parents and carers are their children’s first and most important teachers – no one knows a child better than their family. That’s why we champion partnership and collaboration, working as one Sherdley family to share insights, support, and nurture your child’s progress throughout their time with us. Our broad and balanced curriculum is shaped by our values and we hold the highest of expectations every day – both of ourselves, and of our children. Whether through our broad curriculum, extra-curricular activities, or our pastoral care system, we ensure every child is known, valued, and inspired to achieve their best.
If there’s ever anything you’re unable to find on our site or if there are questions about admissions, curriculum, school life, or anything else, then please do not hesitate to get in touch. Nothing quite replaces seeing the school in person and we can’t wait to welcome you into school, introduce you to the Sherdley family, and begin this exciting next chapter together.
Thank you to our parents for your continued support and for the trust you place in us to care and educate your children.
Best wishes,
Mr Gawne
Headteacher

View allSponsorship forms and tickets for the Colour Run have been circulated to classes today so your child/children should bring them home today or tomorrow - please check book bags. If you have more than 1 child in our school then it will be the oldest sibling who will come home with the sponsorship form and spectator tickets as this was the most manageable way to do this. Please do not lose your tickets (despite them being quite small tickets) as without a ticket you won't be allowed on the school field to watch next week as per our safeguarding risk assessment. There will be no spare/extra tickets available unfortunately as we will be at capacity with the allocated ones per each family. Thank you for your co-operation.
Reminder - do not forget to complete the waiver form for your child for our Colour Run Event - the deadline to complete this is close of day on Monday 18th May 2026.
School have had several messages from parents about not being able to access the waiver forms on the app - please see the picture attached as a guide to finding the forms section within the app thanks.
A message from the Children's Commissioner: Hi, my name is Rachel and my job is to hear from all children and young people in England. As the Children's Commissioner I've launched this survey so you can have your say on what it’s like to be a child or young person in England today. I will take your views to the Government, to help them make life better for children. Everything you tell me will be kept private. You don’t have to answer any question if you don’t want to. There are no right or wrong answers. Just answer honestly! To find out more, visit my website.
Dear Parents, A gentle reminder that children should not bring toys into school. We’ve noticed they can become a distraction and sometimes get lost or damaged, which can cause upset. Please help us by keeping all toys at home so that everyone can focus and enjoy their day. Thank you for your support.
