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.
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!

The children in nursery had an incredible time as they stepped into the world of dinosaurs
during an exciting Animal Encounter workshop! 🦖
After exploring their love for dinosaurs, the children were lucky enough to meet three amazing real-life creatures — a Stegosaurus, a Triceratops, and a Spinosaurus. They were absolutely fascinated as they learned fun facts about these prehistoric giants! 🦕
The children also met some friendly reptiles, including two slow-moving tortoises, a speedy gecko, and a curious lizard. 🦎🐢
It was a chance to get up close and personal with both ancient creatures and some modern-day reptiles too.
Everyone was so brave as they got the chance to hold and stroke some of the creatures.
The children showed such confidence and curiosity, asking lots of questions and learning all about how these animals live and what makes them unique.
A big thank you to the team at Animal Encounters for bringing such an exciting experience to our nursery! We can’t wait to see where the next adventure takes us!
