Bignold Primary School

Welcome to Bignold Primary School part of the Evolution Academy Trust

A very warm welcome to our incredible school, where everyone is welcome! At Bignold Primary, we are proud to be part of the Evolution Academy Trust, an organisation dedicated to fostering an environment where ambition, collaboration, and responsibility are at the heart of everything we do. These values shape the experiences of all our pupils, encouraging them to aim high, work together, and take responsibility for their learning and actions.

Our children are at the heart of every decision we make. Our positive and vibrant learning environment is carefully designed to ensure that all pupils make strong academic progress while developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to thrive at each stage of their education and beyond. We have high expectations for every child and believe that, with the right support and challenge, all pupils can achieve well and leave us fully prepared for the next stage of their learning.

As Headteacher, I am fortunate to work with a highly committed team of staff and governors who share a relentless focus on both excellence and care. We provide a broad and ambitious curriculum that is thoughtfully sequenced, building knowledge and skills over time so that learning is meaningful, connected, and sustained. Excellent teaching, strong routines, and a focus on language, reading, and understanding ensure that children develop confidence, independence, and resilience as learners.

Pastoral care and wellbeing are central to our work. We know that children learn best when they feel safe, valued, and supported, and we place great importance on nurturing the whole child. Alongside academic success, we help children to develop positive relationships, self-regulation, and a strong sense of belonging, enabling them to flourish socially and emotionally as well as academically.

We believe that education works best when schools and families work in close partnership. By working together, we ensure that every child has the strongest possible foundations, a love of learning, and the confidence to take their next steps with ambition and purpose. We are extremely proud of our school, and we warmly invite you to come and visit — our children and staff would be delighted to welcome you and share what makes Bignold such a special place to learn.
