Pool-in-Wharfedale CE Primary School

Welcome to Pool-in-Wharfedale-CE Primary School
A School, where perseverance, respect, compassion and wisdom, guide us all.

A very warm welcome to everyone, whether you are of faith or none. We are delighted that you have taken the time to visit Pool CE Primary School’s website.

Pool CE Primary is a Church of England Voluntary Controlled primary school located in the beautiful rural village of Pool-in-Wharfedale. As a smaller, one-form entry school, we pride ourselves on being a close-knit, welcoming community where every pupil is known, valued and supported to flourish.

Our Vision and Values: Believe & Achieve

At Pool CE Primary, our vision “Everything is possible for one who believes” (Mark 9:23) is the foundation of everything we do. We strive to nurture perseverance, respect, compassion and wisdom in all our pupils. These values underpin our commitment to creating a caring environment where every child can dream big and become the best version of themselves.

We work closely with St Wilfrid’s Anglican Church and Pool Methodist Church, both just a short walk from school, strengthening our Christian ethos and community links. Together, we foster an environment where pupils learn to live well together and celebrate the diversity of our wider community.

The Pool School Family

We consider ourselves more than just a school—we are The Pool School Family.

This means:

· Building lasting partnerships with pupils, parents, and the local community.

· Offering a safe, inclusive, and happy environment where pupils feel loved and supported.

· Setting high expectations to help every child reach their full potential academically, socially and personally.

· Celebrating each pupil’s unique strengths while encouraging empathy and kindness towards others.

 

What You Can Expect at Pool CE Primary

Through our Christian values and commitment to excellence, we aim to develop the whole child. This means providing:

· A broad and balanced curriculum that challenges and inspires.

· Strong pastoral care that nurtures confidence and well-being.

· Opportunities for pupils to engage in community activities, arts, and outdoor learning.

· Celebration of diversity, teaching pupils to appreciate and respect differences.
