Caldershaw Primary School
Caldershaw Primary School is a nurturing and high-achieving school where every child is encouraged to thrive. The school sets high standards from the outset, promoting confident learning, positive behaviour, and strong personal development. This culminated into an Ofsted judegment of ‘Outstanding’ in April 2024.
Its ambitious curriculum, rooted in the National Curriculum, is enriched through trips, visitors, and hands-on experiences that help bring learning to life. Caldershaw’s children consistently achieve excellent results, supported by a dedicated and caring staff team.
