Amotherby School is a state controlled Community Primary School that sees
itself as providing children with a purposeful, enjoyable and positive start
to their education.
Our basic philosophy is of treating each child as an individual, regardless
of age or ability and helping each child to achieve his or her potential
through a caring atmosphere and a broad, balanced and exciting approach
demanded by the National Curriculum.
The School serves an area that includes the following villages and
communities:
|
Amotherby |
Easthorpe |
|
Appleton le Street |
Great Barugh |
|
Barton le Street |
Little Barugh |
|

but as
and when our maximum admission numbers allow, will admit children from
elsewhere.
The building was opened in May 1984 as a purpose built four classroom
school. There is also a central hall used for meals, assemblies and fully
equipped for modern gymnastic floor and apparatus work, a kitchen and
administration block. Outside there are two self contained mobile
classrooms, an ICT room, adequate playing fields and playgrounds and
pleasant landscaped grounds. The playgrounds have been refurbished in recent
years and now have a quiet area, three all-weather play areas and a penned
infant outdoor learning area.
The building provides the ideal setting for children to develop both as
individuals and as members of the School and its wide spread communities.
Few children live within walking distance of our school and so consequently
great efforts are made to try to bring the different communities to our
school on a regular social / professional basis.
