A very warm welcome to Archibald Primary School.
It is a real privilege to lead this happy, thriving school.
At Archibald, our belief is simple: every child can Believe and Achieve. We want every pupil who walks through our doors to feel safe, valued and inspired — and to leave us as confident, curious and kind young people, ready for the next stage of their learning. We hold high expectations for all our pupils, and we work in close partnership with families to help each one flourish, both in and beyond the classroom. The warmth of our pupils, the dedication of our staff, and the strong sense of community run through everything we do in school.
Follow us on our social media to stay up to date with all the exciting things that are going on within our school.
🌏 On Friday, we celebrated the European Day of Languages! Children took part in lots of different activities across school to celebrate. Activities included food tasting, map reading, trying to speak a new language and creating posters! 🗺️

Our triangulation meetings will take place in the two weeks beginning Monday 5th October and Monday 12th October.
Triangulation meetings are focussed meetings between the teacher, parents/carers and the pupil which help to develop positive relationships between home and school.
At the meeting you will…
✅ Meet your child’s teacher
✅ Celebrate their achievements
✅ See their classroom
✅ Discuss targets and attainment
✅ Discuss how you can help your child reach their potential
Look out for your child bringing an invitation home this week with the date and time of your meeting.
If you’d prefer a different time, please contact the school office to rearrange.

🏅 World Record Holder 🏅
We are delighted to share and celebrate this fantastic achievement of one of our Y5 pupils: Linisha, from Class 15, has gained a Global World Record!
She joined 1099 Bharathanatyam Dancers in London for a 17 minute-long dance alongside her older sister, and former Archibald pupil, Mahisha. What a fantastic achievement! 🌟
This world record is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom and was conducted by Griffin College of London.
Well done, Linisha!
