Welcome
Message from the HeadmasterWelcome to East Bierley First School, soon to be East Bierley Primary, we hope that your interest in us means that you are as eager as we are to travel this new journey of discovery as we approach a new future.
The school is nestled in the centre of East Bierley village and takes great pride in its community and church links. We are closely allied with the Diocese of Wakefield and our local churches, St. Paul's in Birkenshaw and St. Luke's in East Bierley itself.
I am extremely proud of the school; the attentiveness and eagerness of the pupils, the committment and creativity of the staff and the willing and giving attitude of our Governors and friends. This make the school a truly wonderful place in which to work - come and visit and experience this truly outstanding school.
In 2008, OFSTED saw us as Outstanding, since then we have more than upheld these standards, specifically developing our curriculum and early years provision. Enjoy looking around our web site, but of course you can only truly experience the true flavours by visiting - please feel free to make an appointment and see for yourself this truly outstanding school.

Message from the BishopFrom earliest times, the Christian faith has held learning and teaching at its heart - the monasteries of Yorkshire were centres of education. The Church of England helped pioneer education for all and the Diocese of Wakefield now has 100 church schools within its boundaries. For all these reasons we welcome you and your child to this school.
We hope you will find it a happy community where young people are nourished in every way. The school offers all that our educational system requires, but it aims to do this in a distinctive way - within the context of the Christian faith, where teaching and learning are rooted in faith in God as seen in Christ Jesus, and handed on by the Church over the centuries. The school is also an inclusive community where all children and adults , from different faith backgrounds and none ,are welcomed.
Church schools work to foster those attitudes in children which prepare them to become good, reliable and honest members of the wider community. But good citizenship is also dependent upon and nurtured by the guidance and example received through family life. We invite you, then, to work with the school staff in helping your child to develop into a mature and responsible member of the community. This will mean guiding your child to grow spiritually, socially and intellectually, thereby encouraging self respect, respect for others and faith in God.
We welcome you most warmly and I commend you to God’s blessing.
