The Federation Of Burley and Sopley Primary Schools - Federation Headteacher's Welcome
Federation» Federation» Our Federation» Federation Headteacher's Welcome» Federation Headteacher's Welcome It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to The Federation of Burley and Sopley Primary Schools. We are a family of two small Primary Schools, based in the villages of Ripley and Burley. Each school within our Federation has its own distinctive character, but shares a common vision, set of values and drive for excellence. We achieve more by working together, sharing expertise and resources in order to ensure every child can reach their full potential. As community schools, we not only serve the families within our catchment, but welcome children from far beyond. We aim to preserve the wonder of childhood through providing safe and stimulating environments for learning, social development, independence and personal growth. The values of Honesty, Enthusiasm, Ambition, Respect and Togetherness underpin our daily practice and we aim for all our community to model these values throughout our schools. Our Website will hopefully give you a flavour of the work we do, but if you would like further information, or to visit us, please do contact us. Mr Mathew Bowen Executive Head Teacher
