From the Lower Heath CofE Primary School
Due to its rich heritage that dates back to the late 18th century and its foundation in Christian principles such as faith, love, respect, thanks, and fellowship, our school has a very unique and special character. Our goal is to make sure that every child can realise their full potential as set forth by God by using a curriculum that is highly personalised to their interests and those of the rural community in which we live. Our entire faculty is committed to assisting our kids in developing into mature, compassionate, and introspective young adults who fully engage in both their schooling and the lives of the larger community. As a result of our recent membership in the Marches Academy Trust, we wholeheartedly support the Trust's mission of "achieving through care." The children are the centre of all we do at Lower Heath, which has a supporting and nurturing atmosphere. Because of this, our students are optimistic, strong, and self-assured, and we are all immensely proud to be a part of our school. Hopefully you will find everything you need to know about our school on this website, but should you need any further information, or you would like to look around our school, please contact us to arrange a visit. The kids and staff would be delighted to show you around, and we would be thrilled to do so.
