Shacklewell Primary School is part of the New Wave Federation which was formed in March 2016. In all our schools we have a passion for high standards and want all our children to achieve their potential and be inspired to go beyond that. We aim to provide the best possible primary education in a stimulating and creative environment. The school works to develop a love of learning that is inspired by high-quality teaching that develops and builds upon individual strengths and talents. We expect all children in our school to reach age related levels, in line with national expectations, as a minimum and ensure that the barriers to learning are removed so that every pupil reaches their full potential.
