Keighley St. Andrew’s is a Church of England Voluntary Aided primary school and nursery, which caters for children from age 3-11. It is in the Bradford Diocese.

St. Andrew’s is a 2-form entry primary school. Additional building work was completed in 2001 to accommodate 420 children on roll in the main school and 78 children in the nursery.

The school is pleasantly situated close to the town centre, off West Lane. Within the school there are currently 15 classrooms and a nursery. In addition there are large central areas which house the well resourced library and computer suite and offer space and facilities for practical and group work. There is a well-equipped hall, which is also used as a dining room and for indoor PE. There are three playgrounds; the nursery and reception children have a separate playground.

The school’s trust deed was drawn up by the National Society, the Church of England’s educational organisation in 1839 when it was known as a National School. This continued until the 1944 Education Act. Following the 1870 Education Act, in 1871, the trust was covenanted to the Parish of Keighley St. Andrew’s.

Introduction from the Head Teacher

Our aim at St Andrew’s is to work with you to make your child’s time in school an enjoyable and successful experience.

Our vision is that Keighley St. Andrew’s C. E. Primary School and Nursery will become a school of the highest quality where we will positively acknowledge, respect, and celebrate religious traditions;

A school where…

• Every child will be happy and confident
• Every child will be valued and respected within the Christian context as an individual and a child of God
• Every child will succeed in becoming a lifelong, independent learner and a self-disciplined citizen
• Every child will enjoy the quality experiences offered as part of curricular and extra-curricular provision
• Every adult will have high expectations of themselves and their pupils
• Every adult will foster an enjoyment of learning
• Every adult will be innovative, imaginative and inspiring in providing quality experiences for all pupils
• Every adult will act as a positive role model

 
At Keighley St Andrew’s CE Primary School we pride ourselves on providing a secure and happy environment in which children are given the support, stimulation and motivation to become lifelong learners and good citizens.         

As a church school we put particular emphasis upon spiritual development and moral values.  Respect is a key word at St Andrew’s and both children and adults know how important this is for the development of positive, trusting relationships.

"The work pupils are currently doing in English and Maths shows that progress is rapidly speeding up and the gap between the school’s results and national expectations is closing quickly.  Pupils are polite, confident, well behaved and say that they feel safe.”(Ofsted May 2011)

“Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good and enhanced by the good appreciation of art.”  (Ofsted April 2008)

“Recent changes to the curriculum have broadened pupils’ experiences and allowed them to be more imaginative and independent.”  (Ofsted April 2008)
