On behalf of all the staff, pupils and governors, welcome to Sherdley Primary School’s website! As the newly appointed Headteacher, I am proud to lead a passionate and dedicated team of colleagues in a warm, nurturing environment; a place where our Sherdley family can thrive. Our staff truly do have the best interests of your children at heart and will always strive to go the extra mile for them. As a school, we believe that every child deserves an outstanding primary school experience, and we are in the privileged position to help make that a reality. With our vision of “Growing together, respecting each other”, and our core values of Aspiration, Potential, Resilience, Challenge, and Family woven into everything we do, we aim to provide memorable learning experiences that prepare our pupils not just academically, but as confident, well-rounded citizens ready for their journey beyond Sherdley.
We are an inclusive school on a journey of excellence, and we understand that parents and carers are their children’s first and most important teachers – no one knows a child better than their family. That’s why we champion partnership and collaboration, working as one Sherdley family to share insights, support, and nurture your child’s progress throughout their time with us. Our broad and balanced curriculum is shaped by our values and we hold the highest of expectations every day – both of ourselves, and of our children. Whether through our broad curriculum, extra-curricular activities, or our pastoral care system, we ensure every child is known, valued, and inspired to achieve their best.
If there’s ever anything you’re unable to find on our site or if there are questions about admissions, curriculum, school life, or anything else, then please do not hesitate to get in touch. Nothing quite replaces seeing the school in person and we can’t wait to welcome you into school, introduce you to the Sherdley family, and begin this exciting next chapter together.
Thank you to our parents for your continued support and for the trust you place in us to care and educate your children.
Best wishes,
Mr Gawne
Headteacher

View allPlease find attached a copy of the Autumn Term Events (So far!) for your calendars. These will continue to be updated as the term progresses and shared with you. I am keen to ensure any dates for events are shared with you well in advance but as is the case with school life, sometimes opportunities come along last minute which means we are not always able to give as much as notice as we would normally. These will continue to be shared at the beginning of every term with updates shared where and when they arise. Mr Gawne

Could you be interested in becoming a school governor or do you know someone in the community who might be interested? Please share to those in the community who could bring enthusiasm to the role. The role is voluntary but an integral part to the running of the school and an exciting opportunity to help support school leaders on the school's journey forwards.
It has been lovely to welcome all our families and children back in to school today. Please find attached a letter for the start of the new academic year. Hopefully there will be lots of tired eyes tonight after a busy first day back.
Welcome back to the 2025-2026 academic year! We hope that you have all had a restful Summer break and enjoyed the time away from school but we are looking forward to welcoming you all back to Sherdley tomorrow. The staff team have been in today and we are all excited to hear what you have been up to over the Summer and welcome you on the gate bright and early in the morning! Keep your eyes peeled for some enhancements that have been made to the KS2 outdoor play spaces too! I will write out more formally to families tomorrow following the return to school with some updates but we are very much looking forward to another year of working in partnership with you for another successful year ahead.

On behalf of us all at Sherdley, we would just like to say a huge 'Thank you' for the kind words, messages, cards and gifts. Thank you once again for your support across another successful year and we wish you a fantastic Summer break. See you all in September!
