Headteacher’s Welcome – Caldew Lea Primary School
Headteacher’s Welcome – Caldew Lea Primary School Skip to content Menu Headteacher’s Welcome Ayesha Weston Headteacher Welcome to Caldew Lea Primary School’s website. Caldew Lea is an exceptional, thriving primary school based right at the heart of west Carlisle. Our school has a proud tradition of educating and inspiring the children of west Carlisle (and beyond) for over 125 years. We are immensely proud of our multicultural diversity and we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing and inclusive environment within which every child flourishes. Every decision we make as a school, from our wider curriculum offer to our SEND offer places our children at the heart and centre of everything. The vibrant, unique nature of our school was recently recognised by Ofsted who graded us a ‘Good’ school with ‘Outstanding’ personal development and ‘Outstanding’ behaviour and attitudes. We are incredibly proud of this remarkable achievement which places us as the highest rated primary school in our locality; it is a true a reflection of our dedication and commitment to ensuring all our children thrive and prosper – we are so proud of them. Inspector’s commented that: ‘Pupils, including those with Special Educational Needs, respond well to the high expectations that the school has of their achievement. In the early years, staff skilfully help children to develop confidence in their abilities and to settle in quickly. Pupils achieve well.’ (Ofsted March 2024) As part of Cumbria Education Trust, we are determined to ensure our children have the best possible life chances and we work tirelessly as a Trust to ensure children’s progress and achievement is prioritised, no matter what their starting points have been. Our shared values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience are enshrined in our Trust ethos and are fundamental to our work in school.

Our Values – Caldew Lea Primary School
Our Values – Caldew Lea Primary School Skip to content Menu Our Values Our Whole School Values Our CET shared values of ‘Respect, Responsibility and Resilience’ are the foundation of all we do in school. We Show Respect: for ourselves, for each other, for the community we live in, for the wider world We have Responsibility; for our own actions, for the impact they have on others, to make our school community a happy thriving place to be We are Resilient; in taking on new challenges, in persevering when things get tough, in encouraging ourselves and others to ‘be the best we can be’. Our Curriculum Values Caldew Lea Primary School’s curriculum aims to provide every child with a school experience which ensures they are equipped to succeed, flourish and be the best they can be in modern British Society. The CLPS curriculum is engrained in the principle that our children must be fully equipped with the knowledge and skills they need in order to access and take advantage of opportunities, responsibilities and experiences, both throughout their time in school and in later life. Our curriculum intent is bound by the fundamental principle that through delivering an enriching curriculum programme which starts and ends with the needs of our children, we will address the gaps in knowledge and skills our pupils typically start school with, enabling us to purposefully address disadvantage from the outset. We aim to teach a full, broad and inclusive curriculum which is underpinned by high expectation and ambition for every pupil, in particular the comparatively high proportion of disadvantaged pupils and pupils with SEND who attend our school. To achieve this, reading is given the highest priority in our school to facilitate meaningful access to the full taught curriculum for every child. The development of spoken and written language, within a vibrant, language rich environment runs parallel to this and is central to our curriculum intent. Delivering the vital cultural capital which prepares children with the essential knowledge and skills to secure their futures is key to our ambition for children. By providing a rich variety of experiences beyond the classroom, we seek to expand our children’s horizons and equip them to approach opportunities and challenges with confidence, resilience and determination, enabling them to thrive and prosper in a diverse and ever-changing world.
