A warm welcome to Framwellgate Moor Primary and Nursery School
Forever Making Pupils Shine

I am really proud to be Head Teacher at Framwellgate Moor Primary School and to work with a dedicated team to provide the best education and life skills for the children in our care.

Since becoming Head Teacher in September 2009 we have developed a clear vision which holds our school values at the core of everything we do, as we aspire our children to be: Forever Making Pupils Shine.

We strive to ensure all our children achieve their academic potential but also ensure that our Curriculum for Life, supports our pupils with healthy lifestyle choices, mental health and wellbeing and socially developing skills which will be needed as they move on through life.

The education and welfare of our children is paramount and I am proud of how hard our staff and governors work to build positive relationships with our families and community and have enjoyed putting the school back into the centre of Framwellgate Moor.
