About our School

Kirkbymoorside Community Primary School

Kirkbymoorside Community Primary is a happy, caring school set in the beautiful surroundings of the North Yorkshire Moors. At our school, we take pride in the care, work and attitudes of all of our students. We have a dedicated and hardworking team who work alongside our families and committed PTA to do the very best for our children. We are a school that likes to celebrate success at every level; the life of the school is driven by enthusiasm and a desire to achieve.

We promote learning that is active and creative and encourages children to embrace challenge, placing a great emphasis on ensuring that every child is able to fulfill their potential. We ensure a wide range of experiences, especially through historical trips, music, sport and the performing arts. We consider the skills of communication, numeracy and literacy to be the foundation of our learning and we are proud of our standards and achievements. We teach children the importance of tolerance and fairness, care and friendship and we take great pride in everything that we achieve.

Our school has a warm, friendly family atmosphere. We have an open door policy and believe that strong partnerships with parents and carers generate the best possible educational experience for each child and their family.

Ryedale Learning Trust

In July 2016 we joined the Ryedale Federation. This converted to the Ryedale Learning Trust Academy in February 2021. This is a group of three local primary schools and the local secondary school who agree that we are ‘Stronger Together’. We work closely together to ensure that all of our pupils receive the best possible education.
