Welcome to Willerby Carr Lane Primary School

At Willerby Carr Lane we provide a top-quality, academic curriculum that is well-matched to all pupils’ individual needs. Alongside this we deliver the highest levels of support and nurture for all. Building independence, resilience, creativity, self-belief and a love of learning are at the centre of everything we do. This ensures that our children have excellent outcomes and are well-prepared for bright futures in whatever they choose. We recognise each of our children as unique, special and distinctive individuals and teach them to value diversity in others. 

 

We encourage everyone in our school to dream big and give them the support they need to chase after these dreams tirelessly.  We want children to be aspirational and to support others to also have aspirations beyond the everyday. 

 We teach our children to believe that if you set your mind to something you can achieve it.  

 We take pride in achieving excellence in everything that we do. We do not judge ourselves against other people’s standards but instead work to be the best that we can be. 

 We ensure that our children set their standards and aspirations high and then we make sure that they achieve them – our children deserve nothing less! 

 We are unique; we are independent; we are resilient; we are Willerby Carr Lane! 

 

We dream big; we believe we can; we achieve excellence.
