At Ireby Church of England school, the quality of our curriculum is central to supporting our Christian vision and values. Through our curriculum, it is our hope that our children develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.We want our children to know that they are part of our local, national and global community and that, in their own unique way, they can help to make our world better place.
​
'Created to do good' Ephesians 2:10
At Ireby school we are blessed with a unique set of circumstances. Firstly we have a team of staff and governors totally committed to delivery of our Christian vision and values. Secondly, we live in one of the most beautiful parts of the United Kingdom with access to virtually unlimited environmental, cultural, economic and historical heritage; and thirdly 'we have a minibus - and we use it!' (OFSTED 2019)
