Welcome Message

On behalf of REAch2, the governors, staff and children, I would like to welcome you to our school website. My name is Claire Freestone and I am the headteacher at Lawley Village Academy. I hope that this website gives you a taste of what it is like at Lawley Village Academy.

 We are currently a one form entry school in the middle of Lawley Village, catering for 210 children from Reception up to Year 6. We are a child-centered school where all stakeholders in the school community are encouraged to take an active part in school life. We foster close links with surrounding schools aiming to share resources, facilities and expertise to ensure the best teaching and learning possible occurs at our school. Our teachers provide an engaging and exciting curriculum which allows the children to question and follow their own lines of enquiry. The curriculum has been developed to enable the children to use and apply skills and knowledge that they have learnt.

 Our staff are dedicated, hardworking and experienced. We provide a safe, calm and caring atmosphere in school and foster a hardworking ethos based on an enjoyment of learning within a stable environment. We expect a great deal from our children and they do not disappoint us. We are pleased to offer a varied selection of enrichment and enhancement opportunities. We are very proud of our reputation as a warm, welcoming, family school.

As a member of the Reach2 family of schools we also have the support and advice of the country’s largest primary only academy trust and would like to reassure the parents who will be sending their children to Lawley Village that their children’s learning is in safe hands. The Reach2 philosophy is clear – a cornerstone of exceptional teaching experiences with shared values of learning, leadership, enjoyment, inclusion, inspiration, responsibility and integrity. As a result of this ethos, we see high achievement across all of our schools and are one of the best performing trusts in the country. We seek to achieve this in every Reach2 school, children only get one chance at their education – we have to ensure that it is the best chance possible.

 If you are interested in applying for a place at our school please get in touch, we would be happy to show you around our wonderful school.

 I look forward to working with both the parents and children as they begin their time in Lawley Village Academy family.
