Ethos, Values and Vision

Our ethos and values are evident throughout school, they are truly woven through all we do. Visitors always comment on the friendly and welcoming atmosphere in school. We warmly welcome everyone into school and we are a real community. Our core values: Trust, Friendship, Forgiveness, Respect and Courage are at our heart.

We celebrate, support and encourage each other - all the children and adults in school and our wider community of parents and friends of the school. Together we create a happy, respectful learning environment where it is safe to take risks, enjoy learning and develop courage.

Applications for a place at East Bierley Primary School should be made to Kirklees Council. This is through an on-line form.  You are welcome to look round school prior to applying or once you have been allocated a place.

Our Published Admissions Number (PAN) is 30. This means we admit 30 children per year into Reception Class and aim to maintain this number throughout each year group.
