Thank you for visiting the Navenby Church of England Primary School website.

The School is at the heart of the small, rural Lincolnshire village of Navenby with around 200 pupils on roll.  The school building and environment house a range of appealing facilities including a fantastic outdoor Reception area, drama studio, library, bicycle and scooter store, trim trail, community cairn, outdoor classroom and a stunning field.

Our Church School vision is based on the concept of 'family': rooted in faith, strengthened by family.  The Bible tells us that we are brothers and sisters in Christ and part of the family of God (Ephesians 2:19; 3:14-15).  Our 'school family' promotes values, models positive interactions and delivers unfaltering care to instil healthy well-being, confidence, independence and ultimately a sense of belonging.  Children are provided with support and security coupled with challenge and aspiration so everyone can flourish and achieve in God’s name.  We collaborate together, inspiring curiosity about learning, developing character and providing opportunity for spiritual growth.  

Daily we gather to show respect to one another, to learn how to forgive and to bring a sense of peace to our lives.  We develop a strong understanding about relationships which allows us to appreciate differences, respect individual liberty and to have open minds and hearts to live in harmony with our brothers and sisters globally.

At Navenby School we acknowledge and promote that each child is unique and unconditionally loved.  Like the branches on a tree, our family grows in different directions yet our roots remain as one. By working together, the School and its community are places where different generations can interact to share experiences to celebrate each person's uniqueness.  We value the positive relations we have with our parents and understand how this relationship is often the cornerstone to a child fulfilling their potential.  "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity" (Psalm 133:1).   

Navenby Primary School was judged to be a 'good' school by Ofsted in December 2021 which we were very proud of.  Our strong supportive team works cohesively to ensure each child develops an excitement and enthusiasm for learning which they can take with them through their lifetime.  We plan many exciting cross-curricular themed activities (many initiated by the children) for our ambitious curriculum.  Contexts for learning are meaningful, modern, motivating and challenging so that our children take great pride in the learning they display.

Our pupils have a positive attitude; they are confident, well-mannered and well-behaved and they genuinely care about each other and the school's positive reputation.  Parents who returned the end of year questionnaires (July 2025), reported that their children enjoy school. They feel that their children are safe, that individual needs are met and that the curriculum motivates them to learn. 99% are happy overall with their child's experiences and so they would recommend us to others.  We are very much looking forward to the year ahead and helping our pupils be 'Ready to Learn' (school motto). 

Visitors are always welcome to see this for themselves and to witness the opportunities for learning and development we provide for our children.  Or please continue to explore our website to find out what is going on at the moment at Navenby Church of England Primary School.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
