Situated on the outskirts of Ripon, our school serves the children and families of Sharow village and the surrounding areas.
In total, around 90 children attend Sharow school. In addition, we offer funded nursery places in our reception class.
We are a hardworking, caring and motivated school, committed firmly to the development of the whole-self and uniqueness of everyone. Our vision is to flourish together. As the Headteacher of Sharow, I am determined to make sure that every child succeeds and is given the opportunities, support and challenge needed to help them flourish.
Enriching the curriculum is a key part of ensuring that every child can do this. In our extensive grounds, we have our very own forest school area that we access to support outdoor learning. Children enjoy learning a variety of skills in these sessions and are able to think, develop, build resilience and make progress in the great outdoors.
Working collaboratively is a key driver for our school. Relationships and support from parents and families is strong and means a great deal to us. As a Church school, we also have a firm relationship with the local church and community. In addition, our school Governors act as supportive critical friends who play a key role in the school’s development.
We very much believe that it is our responsibility to make sure that the ‘one chance’ children get at school is the best chance possible. Our safe, open and inclusive school works tirelessly to meet the needs of every individual and family in order to help each child be happy, flourish and succeed.
