School profile

Yew Tree Primary Academy

At Yew Tree, we are committed to making the difference for all our children and young people. We are very much a school that places our children at the heart of all we do. We all feel immense pride in our achievements so far, and are confident in taking the school on an even greater and more successful journey in the future.

Alongside the academic and creative learning, we want our children to be happy while with us and to develop a ‘wellbeing’ toolkit to take them on into adolescence and adulthood. We do this by focusing on the Personal, Social and Academic aspects of education, which will drive our young people to reach their potential and achieve true excellence. Through a combined skills and knowledge-rich curriculum, engaging teaching, great relationships and strong partnerships, we work hard to ensure that Yew Tree is the best possible primary school experience for every child.

We would encourage you to visit our school and witness for yourself the high quality education and care that we provide to all of our pupils to ensure we achieve our vision and values - 'DREAMBIG for Excellence for All’.
