Thank you for visiting our website in order to learn more about the Lynnfield School community. We aim to give you a good understanding of the vision and values that shape our school as well as an insight into the learning opportunities and wider curricular activities that take place here at Lynnfield Primary School. Serving the local community is central to our work and we actively seek to work in partnership with all of our families in order to secure the best possible outcomes for the children in our care.  

At Lynnfield Primary School we work together as a team to ensure that all children make excellent progress and attain the highest possible standards, whilst being cared for and nurtured. We aim to ensure pupils have a wide range of opportunities to succeed in academic work as well as music, sport and the arts.

The principles of nurture and our 6 virtues are at the heart of our school community. Our school virtues of kindness, respect, stickability, tolerance, courage and calmness are the values that shape the way all members of our school act. Developing children’s positive attitudes and character are promoted and actively taught through these virtues. This philosophy helps to make sure our school is a vibrant, caring learning environment that guarantees children’s individual needs are very well catered for.

We are an inclusive school. All members of our school team have high expectations for our children. We endeavour to make sure we have the fullest possible understanding of your child’s needs so we can tailor learning opportunities in order to secure excellent progress and enable your child to thrive. At the heart of our curriculum are our four curriculum drivers: Inspiration, Aspiration, Partnership with Parents and Inclusion for All. At Lynnfield Primary School we aim to motivate, inspire and challenge pupils to become creative, independent learners with high self-esteem.

It is our intention that we make sure every child in our school feels safe, valued and has a sense of belonging to our school community. We would love to show you around and talk to you about all we have to offer. If you would like to visit our school please don’t hesitate in contacting the school office and we will be able to arrange a visit for you.
