The Vision of Dacre Braithwaite Church of England Primary School can be summed up in 8 words – ‘That they may have life to the full’.
In school, we completely embrace this idea that whatever we are doing, however we are learning, we aim to do it to the best of our abilities, and we stress that everyone is good at something. We actively encourage the children to think about their actions and how they are 'living life to the full' in their everyday lives.
This is our aspiration, inspired by the words of Jesus and the Christian faith, for all who come into contact with our school – the children, their families, our staff and our local community.
Founded in 1778 by a local landowner to provide for the religious education of local farm children, Dacre Braithwaite School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided School for children aged between 4 and 11 years.
The school building is uniquely located in beautiful moorland surroundings, four miles from Pateley Bridge, and it is housed in the original two hundred-year-old building, refurbished, remodelled and extended to meet the needs of all our pupils. Well-equipped play areas, a large field, a woodland and wildlife garden, together with a play cabin, are all enclosed within the school grounds.
