Our Vision:
We are a small family with big, caring hearts, striving to be the best we can be, treating each other with respect and, knowing God is always with us on our learning journey.
Braithwaite C of E Primary School is in a small village just outside of Keswick, in the Lake District National Park, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with magnificent views of Skiddaw and Barrow from the school field. We benefit from an active and supportive local community, including strong partnerships with the local Church. We maximise the use of our unique school grounds and surroundings, extending the learning beyond the classroom, particularly through the use of our Forest Schools area within the spacious school site.
Braithwaite C of E Primary School offers an extended day with Breakfast and After school care on site, benefits from once weekly use of the swimming pool opposite the school and has an active ‘Friends of Braithwaite School’; as part of the Good Shepherd Trust the school benefits from support with finances, school improvement and leadership and also has strong links with the local schools within the Keswick Cluster. In June 2018 we were rated ‘good’ by Ofsted and an updated SIAMS inspection is imminent when inspections restart.
