We at Kirkby Thore believe our school to be a very special place. Our children benefit from small classes, a safe environment, clear plans for improvement and development, inter- school collaboration and shared expertise within our cluster and wider trust, supportive parents and wider community links.
We are a traditional primary school placed in the heart of our community with a small and friendly feel. Set in the shadow of the Pennines, we are inspired to ‘Aim High’ by the landscape around us. Our school values of being ‘safe, respectful and ready to learn’ help us achieve our very best and these have been expanded into four age-appropriate exemplifications so that all children understand the behaviour and attitudes to learning we expect of them as they progress through the school. We are committed to creating a friendly, safe and encouraging atmosphere, where everyone feels welcome and valued.
If you would like to contact us to enquire about our school, vacancies or media related enquiries, please do so via the contact details displayed. We can also provide paper copies of documentation and large print if required.

Thank you Tim Farron MP for answering our range of questions with reflection and humour. These included: Should we join in with the Iran War? What were the 1970s like? When will our pot holes get filled in? 🤣
