Head's Welcome

On behalf of the governors and our dedicated staff team, I am delighted to welcome you and your family to Shirley Warren Primary and Nursery School. We are confident that your time with us will be positive, successful and full of opportunity.

I am proud to be the Acting Headteacher of Shirley Warren and at the heart of every decision I make is what is best for our pupils. Having worked at Shirley Warren for over ten years, I know our children, families and community well and I am deeply committed to ensuring that every child is supported to thrive- academically, socially and emotionally.

At Shirley Warren, we are committed to ensuring that each child is valued, cared for and given every opportunity to achieve their full potential. We aim to promote high standards of learning and behaviour through high-quality teaching and a broad, exciting curriculum that inspires curiosity, confidence and a love of learning. We believe in challenging and developing every pupil so that they leave us ready for the next stage of their education.

Everyone who visits our school comments on the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our children are polite, friendly and proud of their school and there is a strong sense of purpose and belonging throughout our community.

Shirley Warren is a school that continues to grow and improve, driven by a shared commitment to providing the very best educational opportunities for our pupils. Parents and carers are an essential part of this journey and we recognise that children learn best when home and school work together. We warmly encourage families to engage with school life and be active partners in their child’s learning.
