Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We hope you find it a useful source of information and that it gives a good insight into our busy and friendly school.
Archibald Primary School, part of Endeavour Academies, is proud to be an inclusive place for children to learn.
Pupils in our school come from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures to share new experiences and learn from each other. Our aim is that all of our children feel welcomed, happy and fulfilled; recognising that they are all different and that these differences create opportunities for adults and children alike to learn more about themselves and each other.
Follow us on our social media to stay up to date with all the exciting things that are going on within our school.
At the end of school every Tuesday afternoon, a group of Reception pupils and their families meet together to enjoy stories and activities. 📖
They are joined by Literacy Champions from Macmillan Academy in our first joint after-school enrichment activity, supported by Mr Pelling.
The National Literacy Trust Literacy Champions are volunteer students who give up their time to help people improve their reading, writing and communication skills ✍️ 📚. Their role is to encourage others, share useful resources, and help build confidence in using language. They promote the importance of literacy and help others develop these essential skills.
Places are available - if you and your child would like to join this group, please speak to Mrs Verheyen, Miss Robinson or Mr Pelling.

🇬🇧 Last week was our Democracy Week.
In addition to learning about many aspects of democracy, pupils in Reception to Y5 participated in our annual School Council Elections. Supported by exisiting members of our School Council, pupils voted for who they would like to represent them on our School Council next year.
🗳️ Each candidate produced a poster and a short information video to share their thoughts and ideas to persuade voters to vote for them.
🏆 The successful candidates were announced in our Democracy Week Assembly on Friday morning. Congratulations to the successful candidates!
