“Moving to Dacre Braithwaite was the best decision of my life” Year 5 pupil
"As we drove to school this morning we said how brave the staff must be, as whatever the weather, they stand outside to greet every child (by name) in a morning and see that everyone is delivered inside safely! It’s lovely that the school is of a size where the teachers know every child’s name.
We feel very lucky to have found such a fantastic school for our child to attend. The beautiful setting is the icing on top of the cake!" Parent of EYFS child
I’m the local vicar and a governor at Dacre Braithwaite, so, obviously, I might be a bit biased about our Church school, but I think that is for good reason! When I was interviewed for the post of vicar here, a visit to the school (and a grilling by some of the children!) was an important part of the process and, once we had found the school in its beautiful location, I was greatly impressed. I hadn’t just assumed I would send our boys to the Church school, having opted for the closest (a non-church) school in my previous parish, but on visiting Dacre Braithwaite it felt like such a happy place and with a solid faith ethos, I was sold straight away. And we haven’t regretted it for a moment. Our boys have been very happy here (and one still is!). Couldn’t recommend it more highly! Parent of Y5 child
"My child tells me that children don’t misbehave and this is because they are happy at school.
As parents we have seen our daughter grow in confidence and be willing to try new things and has continued to build resilience, she’s thriving.
In particular we have noticed how every child counts. the staff compliment each other so well bringing different strengths to our daughters teaching. All members of staff are so approachable and what you read on the website about this school is lived every day through great leadership.
We are grateful for this and all the extra time given to choir and trips." Parent of Y5 child
