Welcome to Rushton Primary School
I am incredibly proud to warmly welcome you to Rushton Primary School.
We are a small, friendly village primary school with catering for pupils aged 4 to 11. At the heart of our school is a strong sense of community—we are more than just a school; we are a family.
​
Guided by our core values of courage, responsibility, and aspiration, we are proud to offer a rich and carefully designed curriculum that supports each child from their very first day in the Early Years through to the end of Key Stage 2.
Our dedicated staff team embraces a growth mindset approach, encouraging children to take on challenges with confidence and resilience. We place great importance on recognising and valuing each child’s unique experiences, always keeping their well-being and progress at the centre of all we do.
By working closely with parents and carers, we ensure that every child feels supported, inspired, and prepared for the next step in their learning journey.
We’d love to welcome you into our school community—please get in touch to find out more or to arrange a visit.
