Headteacher’s Welcome

“100% of parents would recommend our school to others” Ofsted Parentview 2026

Welcome to Bolton-le-Sands Church of England Primary School! It brings me great joy to invite you to explore our school’s website, whether you are a current parent or prospective family looking for a nurturing environment for your child.

Please check out our most recent Ofsted report (September 2026) that found our EYFS and behaviour to be ‘Strong standard’ and said, “Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming and supportive village school where relationships between themselves and staff are warm and caring.”

Our recent SIAMs inspection is available here and this gives a lovely representation of life in our school. “Reflecting the vision, leaders have created a culture characterised by love and compassion. As a result, people treat each other with care and respect.”

At the heart of everything we do is our core belief: “With God at the centre, we reach out to support each other in learning, growth and community.” Inspired by our key Bible verse, “We love because God first loved us” (1 John 4:19), we strive to create a school community where each individual feels loved, valued and supported. As the village school, we are deeply rooted in this community and we warmly welcome everyone to be part of our journey.

Our school is a joyful and caring place where every child is encouraged to realise their potential academically, socially and spiritually. We hold high standards in all areas, whether it’s in the classroom, on the sports field or in the wider world. We are immensely proud of the achievements of our pupils who truly embody our values.

We believe in the power of partnership. Parents are integral to their child’s education and we invite you to be actively involved in their learning journey. “Leaders prioritise partnerships with parents and carers. They are warmly welcomed into the school family.” Ofsted 2026. We understand that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your child and we hope this website provides you with all the information you need to feel confident that Bolton-le-Sands is the right choice.

“Leaders, including governors, also demonstrate a vision-driven commitment to pupil and staff wellbeing. This enables pupils and adults to flourish.” SIAMS April 2026

Our school is blessed with a supportive Governing Body and an exceptional PTFA (“FOBLES”), both of whom help enhance our children’s experiences and opportunities.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch via phone or email; we would love to share more about our wonderful school with you.
