"For all our children to enjoy successful learning in a safe and happy environment"
As a community primary school with no religious foundation, it is important to provide our children with a level of understanding of a range of faiths and traditions so they are able to make sense of what they encounter in the wider world and to have respect for the beliefs and views of others.
Headteacher Julian Ward welcomes visitors and describes Larkfield as a stimulating, aspirational and caring environment where pupils leave as well-educated, confident and resilient members of the community. The school emphasizes inclusion and high standards, with OFSTED reporting positive views in July 2023.
