Headteacher’s Welcome

A very warm welcome to Wray with Botton Endowed Primary School.

We are a happy, caring and inclusive school community where children are at the heart of everything we do. From our youngest learners in Preschool at the age of 3 through to our Year 6 pupils aged 11, we are committed to nurturing every child, helping them to grow in confidence, develop a love of learning and achieve their full potential.

Our aim is to provide the very best education in an exciting, creative, safe and supportive environment where every child feels valued, respected and inspired to succeed. We are proud of our warm family atmosphere and the strong relationships we build with our children, families and the wider community.

Founded in 1684, our school has a rich history and is situated in the spectacular surroundings of the Lune Valley. The beautiful countryside that surrounds us plays an important role in school life and provides wonderful opportunities for learning beyond the classroom.

We are particularly proud of our two Forest School sites, which are integral to our curriculum and learning experiences. These unique outdoor spaces enable our children to explore, discover, take risks, develop resilience and deepen their understanding of the natural world through hands-on experiences throughout the year.

Our children are happy, well-behaved, thoughtful and enthusiastic learners with a genuine zest for life. We encourage curiosity, creativity and independence, helping every child to develop the knowledge, skills and values they need for the future.

We warmly welcome visits from prospective families and would be delighted to show you around our school. Nothing conveys the vibrant and caring nature of our community better than seeing it for yourself. We look forward to meeting you and sharing all that makes Wray with Botton Endowed Primary School such a special place to learn and grow.
