Head Teacher's Welcome

Hello and a very warm welcome to Maxwellton Primary School and Nursery!

At Maxwellton, we’re more than just a school — we’re a family. Every child is valued, cared for and celebrated for who they are. We believe that when children feel included, supported and encouraged, they can achieve amazing things.

Our values of Teamwork, Respect, Achievement, Care and Kindness guide everything we do and keep us on the right T.R.A.C.K! They remind us to look out for one another, to celebrate successes big and small, and to keep moving forward together in the right direction.

We’re proud of our strong sense of community, where staff, children and families work side by side. It’s this partnership that helps our children to feel safe, confident and ready to take on new challenges. We want every child to leave Maxwellton with happy memories, a love of learning and the skills to shine in whatever they choose to do next.

Thank you for visiting our website. I hope you get a real sense of the warmth, care and ambition that make Maxwellton such a special place.

With love and kindest wishes,

Elaine Cooke
