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.

Just look how smart these Y4 pupils from Class 12 look in their PE kits!
As many of you are already aware, through communications on SeeSaw, we have made a change to our uniform requirements for pupils on their PE days.
Moving forward, pupils should come to school wearing their PE kit on their PE days.
As a reminder, a School PE consists of :
โข Navy blue t-shirt
โข Navy blue or black shorts
โข Trainers
When the weather is colder pupils may also wear
โข Navy blue or lack leggings or trousers
โข Navy blue school jumper or hoodie
Pupils in Y4 have been trailing this since the start of 2025 and there have been significant benefits, including longer PE lessons spent on physical activity (less time getting changed), the reduction of pupils needing to get changed in classrooms. Pupils are also more comfortable engaging in physical activities at playtimes and lunchtimes. There has been a reduction in the quantity of kits going missing too.

๐ Y3 Geography Showcase ๐
In the final week of last term, our Y3 pupils hosted a Geography Showcase Event.
Parents, carers and friends were invited in to school to see the fantastic geography work that pupils had completed as part of their Spring Term geography topic: Rocks, Relics and Rumbles.
Throughout the term, the children learnt about the features and characteristics of the Earthโs layers including a detailed explanation of volcanic, tectonic and seismic activity.
