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.
Over the last two weeks of the Spring Term, over 150 of our KS2 pupils had the fantastic opportunity to work in partnership with Macmillan Academy, to take part in additional fun and engaging PE sessions. 🏃⚽️
The sessions were expertly led by Year 10 students as part of their BTEC Sport course, which requires them to plan and deliver practical lessons, developing their leadership and teamwork skills.
Our pupils had an amazing time, learning new skills and working alongside the older students. It was wonderful to see everyone collaborating so well and making the most of the experience. They showed their brilliant listening and demonstrated their sporting resilience when working with different leaders on new games and activities. 🏀🥎
Thank you to everyone involved for making this most recent collaboration between the schools in our trust a memorable and rewarding experience. 💫

A big thank you to all the parents and carers of pupils in Class 12 who were able to attend the Art Workshop at the end of last term.
Parents, carers and pupils joined together to create a Bankura horse out of clay. A Bankura horse is the terracotta figure produced in Panchmura village, in Bankura district, in the Indian state of West Bengal.
There were some fantastic models created during the workshop – well done everyone!

Since the Autumn Term, Class 18 has been part of a creative writing project with author Richard O’Neill. Together, they came up with an original idea for a story set in our school one hundred years ago.
Before the Easter holidays, five very lucky year 6 pupils visited Seven Stories - The National Centre for Children’s Books in Newcastle 📖 . They began their visit with a tour of the centre, exploring the galleries filled with original illustrations from much-loved children’s books such as ‘The tiger Who Came to Tea’, ‘Elmer the Patchwork Elephant’ and the ‘Mog’ series. Then they performed their story in ‘The Attic’, an area where famous children’s authors have shared their stories! 📚
They had a wonderful day! What an amazing opportunity to collaborate on, create and celebrate stories!
