from our
Headteacher
Hello and welcome to our website!
As the headteacher, I would like to welcome you to Fieldhead Carr Primary School. It is clear the moment you step through the door that Fieldhead Carr is a truly special place, where our children are at the centre of everything we do.
We pride ourselves on making this an inclusive and nurturing school, where every child is valued for who they are and encouraged to play an active part in the community around them.
Our ethos is underpinned by our Personal, Social and Health and Economic teaching. We believe building positive and respectful relationships and being part of a valued community build the foundations for taking confident steps into the world beyond our school and achieving future successes.
We give all our children daily opportunities to look at the world around them and find their place in it. We want our children to question and evaluate what is around them and build their own view points on the things they like and dislike- building a secure sense of self and empathy for others.
When children feel valued and safe, they take risks in their learning and have the belief in what they are able to achieve, this is when the magic happens.
I am delighted you have chosen to join our team at Fieldhead Carr Primary School. Please have a further look at our website which gives you a real flavour of what we do.

“Our children are at the forefront of everything that we do, and we tailor make our curriculum to ensure that every child achieves their individual best.”
Our school ethos is underpinned by our Fieldhead Factors
Respect – for ourselves, each other and our future
Perseverance & Courage – trying our best, even when things are tough
Reflective and Resourceful– trying to do things for ourselves and using our problem solving skills to grow our independence
Collaborative Community – working together for everyone’s benefit
Responsible– we own our behaviours
This is how we build our team and share with children the skills they need to grow into a confident and valued member of the community.
We are lucky to be set within a close knit and supportive community who have a significant impact on life in school. This makes a difference to our children as they see that learning doesn’t stop at the school door!
This is an exciting time to be a part of our school. With our lovely new building, brilliant team and (although we are biased) fabulous children, we are building a new future at FHC. One that will ensure that everyone get the chance to ‘Love to Learn’.
