Welcome to Amherst Primary School!
Everyone at Amherst in our school is a caring and special place where children grow, learn, and flourish. Amherst children are always encouraged, challenged, and supported to be the best they can be!
At Amherst, our Vision and Mission statements are central to everything we want to achieve for our children and the wider community.
Our vision is to nurture and develop the values, knowledge, and skills our children need to flourish and make a positive difference in our community and the world.
Our mission is ‘Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day’.
To achieve our vision, we aim encourage our children to demonstrate our six core values at all times:
The staff at Amherst School are determined to provide the highest possible standards of teaching and learning for every child. We aim to provide an exciting curriculum designed to meet our children’s needs and develop global perspectives. We ensure that learning is matched to a child’s ability and has the appropriate level of support and challenge. At Amherst, we value every child’s contribution and encourage them to respect and value those of others.
We hope your child will find Amherst a happy school and a place where they can thrive and develop. We look forward to working with you and your support to help your child grow and learn with us in the years ahead.
