Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We hope you find it a useful source of information and that it gives a good insight into our busy and friendly school.
Archibald Primary School, part of Endeavour Academies, is proud to be an inclusive place for children to learn.
Pupils in our school come from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures to share new experiences and learn from each other. Our aim is that all of our children feel welcomed, happy and fulfilled; recognising that they are all different and that these differences create opportunities for adults and children alike to learn more about themselves and each other.
Follow us on our social media to stay up to date with all the exciting things that are going on within our school.
🎄🎅 We will be holding our Christmas Jumper Day on Friday 12th December 2025. ❄️⛄️
For a small donation, pupils can come to school in their Christmas jumper for the day.
Don’t worry if you do not have a Christmas jumper - you can easily get creative and decorate your school jumper or another jumper for the day.
Proceeds from this event will contribute towards our Christmas party day at the end of term.

Many of you will be aware that Fr Glyn retired from his position at All Saints Church and as Chair of our Local Governing Board at the end of the summer.
He dedicated over 27 years to Archibald Primary School, including over 22 years as Chair of Governors, and has been a regular visitor into school, each Tuesday afternoon for many years, to work with Y1 pupils, as well as his regular assemblies and infamous Christingle Assemblies! He will be missed by the whole school community, past and present.
In a special whole school assembly last Thursday afternoon, pupils and staff showed their appreciation to Fr Glyn. Pupils presented him with artwork they had created themselves, recited poetry and sang songs.
In recognition of Fr Glyn’s dedication to the school, Endeavour Academies Trust and to the town, the assembly was also attended by Mr Latham, Endeavour Academies CEO; members of our Governing Board; Chris Cook, Mayor of Middlesbrough and Trevor Watson, JP DL, His Majesty’s Deputy Lieutenant for North Yorkshire.
Fr Glyn will return for one final Christinge Assembly at the end of term.

The mosaic we are working on as part of a project to celebrate the life of Don Revie, ex Archibald pupil and England football manager, is progressing well!
The artists, Helen and Derek, have been back in school with the finished design which took elements from a number of pupils’ ideas. They worked with groups of children to start to complete the mosaic, teaching them about how a mosaic is put together, the glues and grout that are used and the effects that can be created by using the coloured tiles in different ways.
They also led a parent and pupil workshop after school so that parents could work with their children on helping to complete the mosaic.

It was great to see the parents and carers of Y3 children in school recently to take part in the Y3 Prehistoric Pot Workshop. Pupils had a wonderful time making Bell Pots with you and can’t wait to share the final creations!

A big thank you to all the parents and carers of Y4 pupils who supported the recent Warp and Weft Workshop. Some amazing weaving work was produced which will be made into wall hangings and displayed in school.
