A Caring Christian Family Where We Grow Together
Let Your Light Shine ~ Matthew 5:16

Warmingham CE Primary School is a caring Christian family, and it is a privilege to lead a community where children begin their learning journey in our Nursery and continue to grow, thrive and flourish throughout their primary years.   Located in the heart of the beautiful village of Warmingham, between Elworth, Sandbach, Middlewich and Crewe, our school has proudly served its community since 1839, when it was founded to meet the needs of the parish of St Leonard’s Church.   Today, Warmingham continues to offer a warm, nurturing and faith‑filled education for children and families from both the local area and the surrounding communities.

Our vision, “Let Your Light Shine” (Matthew 5:16), lies at the heart of everything we do.   Christian values, theological in foundation and inclusive in practice, shape our relationships, our collective worship and our curriculum.   They encourage children to recognise and develop their unique gifts, to make compassionate and thoughtful choices, and to flourish both as individuals and as members of our wider school family.   This shared vision creates a strong sense of belonging, where everyone is known, valued and supported.

We aim to provide an education that children will never forget - rich in opportunity, diverse experiences and high aspiration - within a Christian context. Our broad and connected curriculum supports each child’s intellectual, physical, social, emotional and spiritual development.   From their earliest experiences in Nursery through to the end of Year 6, children are encouraged to be confident, enquiring and independent learners who enjoy learning and are keen to challenge themselves.   We expect children to strive for their best across all aspects of school life, including religious, academic, physical, artistic and recreational areas.

At Warmingham, we firmly believe that children learn best when they feel safe, happy and truly known.   Our calm and nurturing environment promotes excellent behaviour, self‑discipline and a culture rooted in mutual respect, kindness and care.   Inclusive attitudes are embedded in daily life, ensuring that every child feels secure, valued and confident to share their ideas and contribute fully.   Alongside our Christian ethos, we are proud to be a Rights Respecting School, reflecting our commitment to children’s wellbeing, dignity and voice.   This approach strengthens our vision by supporting children to develop responsibility, empathy and a growing understanding of their place within the world.

Strong partnerships lie at the heart of life at Warmingham.   We value the close relationship between home and school and work in partnership with St Leonard’s Church, Chester Diocese Academy Trust (CDAT) and our wider community to enrich children’s learning experiences.   Through opportunities for service, leadership and community involvement, children learn how they can make a positive difference to others. Together, we prepare our children not only for the next stage of their education, but for life beyond school - equipped with confidence, compassion and a desire to let their light shine in an ever‑changing world.
