Welcome

We are a small school of 55 children in the beautiful North Yorkshire village of Saxton near Tadcaster.

We are proud to be a Church school. Our vision is extremely important to us and is at the heart of everything we do: to achieve “Good people, doing well”(Titus 3:14 – Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives). We model strong Christian values, while at the same time we respect and value those of other faiths and none.

This is a happy, friendly school where we have high standards in everything we do and where all children can access an exciting curriculum.  Learning is fun but challenging and we aim to meet the specific learning needs of every child so that they can all achieve to the best of their ability. Our children continually attain high outcomes, particularly at the end of KS2 (click HERE for details).

Children are taught in three mixed age classes, Willow (FS/Y1/Y2), Sycamore (Y3/Y4) and Maple (Y5/Y6).

Relationships are important to us and we aim to foster good relationships in school between children and between children and staff. Outside of school we value our relationships with parents and the community. Working together, we can provide the best possible educational experience for  our children.

We are a member of The Star Multi Academy Trust. This is a group of local schools who have formed a Multi Academy Trust in order to provide high quality education for children 4 to 19 in the Sherburn and Tadcaster area. It brings benefits to our small, village school by allowing our pupils, staff and governors to engage in a range of opportunities alongside their local peers.

Please come and visit. You would be very welcome and we would be proud to show you our lovely school.
