Head’s Welcome


A very warm welcome to the Shackleton family!
At Shackleton Primary School, we believe our children will thrive in an environment where they feel happy, safe, valued and respected. We want our children to be motivated by learning and to be offered the best opportunities that we can provide. In school, both staff and children follow ‘The Shackleton Way’, which is Ready, Respecful and Safe. We are ready to learn, respectful to all and safe with our choices.
We have high expectations of all of our children and we endeavour to improve the life chances of all children through academic achievement, enrichment opportunities and appropriate support and scaffolding. We are aspirational for all of the Shackleton children to ensure that all can succeed later on in life.
We see our parents as partners in the education of their children and value their contribution to school life.
I look forward to welcoming you personally to our family.
