Executive Headteacher’s
welcome to
Tacolneston Primary Academy
Mission Statement
The overarching vision for Tacolneston and Morley Primary Federation reflects the importance of diversity and individuality as we all have gifts and talents which are different but complement one another.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace” 1 Peter 4:10
At Tacolneston, we want children to be confident to speak out and share their ideas, their learning and their talents, using their individual skills and gifts. This focus at Tacolneston is in recognition of our aspirations for the children, giving them every opportunity we can to learn about the world around them and share their knowledge and ideas within and beyond their local village or home community.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
“Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky.” Daniel 12:3
Our vision for Tacolneston is summarised as “Shine as bright as the sky”, partly symbolised by the TV broadcasting mast for which Tacolneston is known.
The core values at Tacolneston are Courage, Perseverance and Respect.
About Us
Every decision within the school is made by firstly considering what is in the best interest of the children. In this way, children lie at the heart of everything we do. Children learn best when schools and parents work in partnership and so we welcome and value parental involvement with your child’s education. At Tacolneston there is a team of professional, talented and committed staff who provide well planned and organised lessons and activities. We have a supportive and hard working group of governors who are highly skilled in different areas. Governors and staff work together to provide our children with the very best learning opportunities. We encourage our pupils to be responsible for their learning, to grow in confidence and become independent.
For the academic year 2024 – 2025 we have three classes which are organised as follows:
Robin Class – Reception, Year 1 & Year 2
Eagle Class – Year 3 & Year 4
Sparrowhawk Class – Year 5 & Year 6
Our PAN (Planned Admission Number) for the academic year 2024 -2025 is 15.
In June 2022 Tacolneston became part of St Benet’s Multi Academy Trust.
