We are an Outstanding primary school that meets the needs of a diverse range of special educational needs of children aged 4 to 11 years old. We have very high expectations of all children in school and celebrate every aspect of achievement. 'Pupils blossom, thrive and succeed through the excellent education that they receive' and ' The school has the highest expectations for what pupils can achieve' (Ofsted May 2024)

Cribden House School prides itself on having a child-centred approach in everything that we do. The staff team are devoted, enthusiastic, understanding and caring; they build strong relationships with pupils and their families and because of this 'pupils experience the very best education at this school. No stone is left unturned in supporting pupils to learn and to be as well prepared as possible for future life' (Ofsted May 2024)

The dedication of our staff team, together with their knowledge of special educational needs, creates a happy and truly engaging learning environment for our pupils. 'The school has created an exciting curriculum that fires pupils' enthusiasm for learning'. (Ofsted May 2024)

Our children love coming to school and our parents are delighted with the positive changes they see in their children when they come to Cribden House. 'Pupils love their happy, welcoming school' (Ofsted May 2024)

We truly believe in our school motto; 'We will either find a way ... or make one.' With this at the heart of all we do, children thrive whilst they are at Cribden House School and in their journey beyond.

I am very proud to be the Headteacher of Cribden House School and together we will be constantly striving to improve the school in all areas: we are extremely excited about what the future holds for our school.
