Welcome to Nateby Primary School…. a quiet village school?…… We don’t think so!
What a great start to the day!!
OFSTED REPORT
Our OFSTED report is now official. We are relieved that we have finally been inspected as the last full inspection was 2008! As with the vast majority of previously OUTSTANDING schools we are now ‘GOOD’. We are proud of our school and the pupils and families we work with; the report highlights many positives. As always we are open to constructive criticism and will endeavour to improve in the few areas identified in the report. Our school is a super place for children to learn; our pupils and community supported us in this evaluation in their comments to OFSTED. The staff at Nateby all deserve recognition for their hard work and dedication that they show every day not just when OFSTED are in! Well done to everyone!
World Book Day
We celebrated our love of reading and books by coming together across school in our three house teams. Each team worked on a different book which they read to each other. There was ‘Slowly, Slowly.’ Said The Sloth; Jack & The Flumflum Tree and Aliens Love Underpants! The children then worked together to make wonderful illustrations of their own to decorate the classroom doors.
Tower Wood Residential Trip
Year Four, Five and Six went away on their residential trip to Tower Wood. The children took part in lots of activities including kayaking, caving, tree climbing, ghyll scrambling, high ropes and many more, which helped them to work as a team or to test their own skills. Great fun was had by all, including the teachers!
All the children really tried hard- even when it meant going out of their ‘comfort zone’. Everyone came back able to do more than when they started. Everyone could feel proud of what they had achieved.
Visit from Chas Jacobs
We have begun our school year in the spirit we mean to continue with a visit from the artist Chas Jacobs. The children all worked together on a design for a whole school display. The theme was our human rights- we are all free- this was represented by balloons. Well done to everyone and a big ‘Thank you!’ to Chas.
The Nateby Ethos
Nateby Primary School is at the centre of the Nateby community. The Team at Nateby aims to provide a full and rich curriculum which excites and motivates all pupils. Each child is seen as an individual. We believe that it is the duty of the school to ensure that each individual’s needs are met both educationally and personally; that each individual should be supported in achieving their full potential and develop in to confident, responsible members of our society; that all pupils aspire to and are able to succeed in the modern, multi-cultural country they live in.
Our Aims:
We aim to ensure all Nateby Pupils are confident learners and global citizens. We will achieve this by:
Instilling a life-long love of learning and a passion for knowledge.
Nurturing our pupils so that they are proud and confident.
Celebrating success so that children feel valued.
Creating a positive environment where children flourish and are safe and happy.
Developing resilient, well balanced, healthy pupils who are caring considerate citizens.

THANKS TO ALL NHS & KEYWORKERS FROM NATEBY
Over the Lockdown period we worked with local schools to create our mural thanking keyworkers for their hardwork. Many of the children that created the mural are in fact children of keyworkers so they knew exactly what their parents were going through. Take a look at their work- it is now hanging in Garstang town center.
SCHOOL UNIFORM SHOP
We now have a school uniform online shop. Please use the tab above to go to school office or follow this link: https://app.parentpay.com/ParentPayShop/Uniform/Default.aspx?shopid=1878
What do we believe is the purpose of education? What is the purpose of a school? What is it that underpins all that we do in our school?
