Slaithwaite C of E Junior and Infant School

Thank you for visiting our website and welcome to our school family. I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher of Slaithwaite CE Junior & Infant School, a vibrant one-form entry primary school at the heart of the beautiful village of Slaithwaite. As part of the Leeds Diocese, our school community is known for its nurturing, inclusive, and caring ethos that supports every child to flourish. 

At Slaithwaite, we are committed to helping every child enjoy their learning, aspire to achieve their full potential, and achieve great things. We provide rich, engaging, and meaningful experiences that inspire curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning. 

We take immense pride in our broad, balanced, and thoughtfully designed curriculum that nurtures every child’s unique potential. Rooted in our distinctive values of Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Relationships, and Reflection, our curriculum not only delivers strong foundational knowledge and skills but also fosters emotional resilience and a love of learning. With a rich blend of indoor and extensive outdoor learning opportunities—including weekly forest school sessions, our curriculum ensures that children engage deeply with their learning in meaningful, real-world contexts. Our values are at the core of everything we do. With close links to St James’s Church and the dedicated partnership of our staff, governors, and parents, we proudly live out our vision of ‘learning and growing together in a love-filled Christian family.’ 

We warmly invite you to visit our school and see firsthand the welcoming, supportive environment we provide. Together, we can work in partnership to give your child the best possible start in life.
