Welcome to Skidby Primary School
Welcome to Skidby Primary School and thank you for taking the time to browse our website. I hope that you find it informative and that it answers any questions you may have.
My name is Stuart Richardson and I feel truly privileged to be leading such a wonderful school and to have the opportunity of ensuring that each child at Skidby CE Primary receives the best possible education in their formative years.
Skidby is a small primary school with around 80 children on roll, split amongst four classes; in addition to this we have an independent nursery on site for those parents requiring pre-school provision.
Here at Skidby we strive to be a Christian school, in a small community making a big difference, taking our lead from 1 Thessalonians 5:11 that teaches us to encourage one another and build one another up. We do this by developing our core Christian values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience; showing respect for ourselves, each other and our school community; being responsible for our actions, each other, for our community and the wider world; developing resilience to keep trying even when times are hard.
Our website is only a glimpse of what we feel makes Skidby CE distinctive. The best way for you to appreciate what we can offer your child is to experience our school first hand.
I do hope you will visit us to meet our children and staff and to experience life at our unique school.
