Together Everyone Achieves More

It is with great pleasure as Headteacher at Larks Hill that I welcome you to our website.

Larks Hill is a one form entry school that sits at the heart of the local community and is attended by families over generations.

Our school ethos is based on the notion of mutual respect. The pupils at Larks Hill demonstrate a strong respect for learning, for each other and for all members of the school community and beyond. All staff demonstrate their respect for the children by delivering high quality lessons and offering new and exciting experiences, treating all as individuals in a calm and nurturing environment.

Our ethos of mutual respect is underpinned by our school values of resilience, independence and collaboration and all stakeholders uphold our values whole heartedly. I have high ambitions and expectations for all the children in my care and this is visible as you walk around our school. Pupils learning, their behaviour and personal presentation is of the highest quality and standards.

In 2024, I am extremely proud to share that 100% of our pupils passed the Phonics Screening Check at Year One for the second year running. We also sustained our national combined outcomes at 93% but increased our combined outcomes at the higher level to 39%. These outcomes place Larks Hill in the top percentiles for achievement nationally and we have been named as being one of the schools listed in the top ten best performing schools in Yorkshire according to Government data.  

I hope that you enjoy our website and that it gives you a sense and flavour of our school, it’s worth and aspirations. Once again, thank you all for your support. There is no greater public duty than preparing our pupils, academically and personally, to cope with life in modern Britain and beyond. All visitors to our school will be warmly welcomed.

Best wishes,

Mrs K Adams
