FLIMBY PRIMARY SCHOOL

Respect, Pride, Bravery and Success

Welcome to Flimby Primary School

I’m Tanya Peers, Executive Headteacher of Flimby Primary School. I feel incredibly proud to lead this vibrant village school, which sits at the heart of a close-knit coastal community steeped in rich history. With over 20 years in education, my passion for teaching, children, and community continues to shape everything we do at Flimby.

Flimby is a nurturing and inclusive school where every child is known, valued, and supported. We have high expectations and tailor learning to ensure each child achieves their potential – and beyond. Our aim is to foster a lifelong love of learning, and we place our children’s happiness and wellbeing at the centre of all we do.

While core subjects are a vital part of our curriculum, we also believe in developing children’s interests across a wide range of areas. Our dedicated staff provide opportunities for children to explore the world around them, engage with the arts, learn new languages, and participate in a variety of sports and enrichment activities. We’ve even adopted Flimby Railway Station, which allows us to take children up and down the coast to support their learning and connect with the wider community – a project that has brought joy to both our pupils and local residents.

In September 2020, we proudly joined the Changing Lives Learning Trust, which has enabled us to grow and improve further for the benefit of our children, families, and community. Our staff go above and beyond every day, driven by a shared commitment to providing the very best for our pupils. The children of Flimby are polite, well-mannered, and full of joy – they truly make our school a special place to be.

We believe that strong partnerships between school and home are essential. Collaboration with families helps children feel safe, secure, and ready to thrive. Our active PTA – Friends of Flimby School (FOFS) – plays a key role in enriching school life through social events such as discos, movie nights, bingo evenings, and seasonal fayres.

Flimby Primary School is a place where children are encouraged to dream big, work hard, and grow into confident, compassionate individuals. I am honoured to lead such a forward-thinking, caring, and ambitious school community.

Mrs T Peers Executive Head Teacher

I’m Louise Stoddart, Head of School at Flimby Primary. It is an honour to lead this wonderful village school and work alongside a team of dedicated, hardworking staff who are all committed to doing their very best for our children, families and community. Alongside my leadership responsibilities, I continue to teach on some days, which keeps me closely connected to the children, the classrooms and the learning that takes place across our school. This hands-on involvement is something I value deeply, as it allows me to see our pupils grow and thrive every day.

I provide day-to-day leadership that reflects and upholds our LEARN values and aspirations, creating a stimulating and supportive learning atmosphere for both pupils and staff. I work closely with our Executive Headteacher to maintain operational excellence and drive the school forward, sustaining the high standards Flimby Primary School is known for. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. We work together to create a nurturing, inclusive environment where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
