Vine Tree Primary School is a thriving and inclusive learning community situated on the outskirts of Crewe. The school caters for children from Reception to Year 6, with capacity for 210 pupils taught in single-age classes. We offer a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment where all children are encouraged to flourish both academically and personally.
We are fortunate to be located near several local secondary schools and a further education college, with whom we have established positive and supportive partnerships. We actively participate in a range of transition and activity days to support our pupils as they prepare for the next stage in their education. These partnerships allow us to share resources and access subject-specific CPD opportunities, for which we are extremely grateful.
We are proud to be part of the Crewe community and celebrate our town and its history through a broad and balanced curriculum, enriched with creative, practical, and talk-based learning opportunities.
