Welcome to Madley Brook Community Primary School. Our school has a very clear vision at its heart:
‘Achieving excellence by challenging boundaries’
Our aim is to value each pupil. To provide learning opportunities that will develop the whole child. We will encourage them to have limitless aspirations, to have a passion for learning and to enjoy life and above all, have a sense of fun.
Our vision and aims are intricately thread through the lifeblood of the school – through the lessons that we teach, the activities we undertake and the additional opportunities that we offer to each child.
The school works alongside Springfield Special School. Both schools are based on the site known as The Bronze Barrow chosen to reflect the historical nature of the area. The schools are built around the site of a Bronze Age burial ground, hence, the horseshoe shape of the building. The two schools co-exist yet maintain their own individual identities, staff, governing bodies and pupils.
