I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Lord Street Primary School. Our School has served the children and families of Colne since 1901 and I am extremely proud to share with you a taste of what we have to offer here at our wonderful School. I have been Head here since September 2013, when we were last inspected by Ofsted in July 2014, the school was judged to be good. This is a testament to the hard work of our staff team who have taken the school from a ‘requires improvement’ grade in February 2013 to ‘good’ in a very short space of time.The school is, and has been for many years a happy place that helps children to learn the skills they will need to achieve at secondary school and to go on to become successful in adult life.
We work with children with a range of backgrounds and needs but all are seen as equally important in the school and have access to an exciting curriculum which covers English and Mathematics, ICT and the full range of National Curriculum subjects. It includes opportunities for children to take part in out of school activities including sports clubs such as Judo, Burnley Football Club and school competitions.By joining the MAT in 2018 our aim is to improve the quality of teaching and education across Pendle. Our mission, by working closely with the other local schools in the community, is to inspire and excite your children to become the best they can be.
Choosing your child’s school is a very important decision and I believe you have made a good choice. We aim to work in partnership with you and will do our very best to make sure we meet your child’s needs in full. We hope that this is your experience of the school but we will always welcome you into school to resolve any concerns you have.
I hope that the information is of use to you and look forward to meeting you in school.
