Head Teachers Welcome

I am immensely proud to be the Head Teacher at Silsoe VC Lower School and I am delighted to welcome you to our wonderful school. We are a friendly, nurturing, inclusive and successful school with high expectations for all of our pupils.
​
We are a Church of England voluntary controlled school, which means we have a close partnership with our local village church and the St Albans Diocese. We are proud of our church foundation and it is this which defines our ethos and makes our school distinctive.

​The cornerstone of all of our work is our 'Christian Values' based education, which is embraced by the whole school community. These values are our guiding principles. They help us to work together to create a successful and happy school.  They encourage every child to develop into a caring, responsible, hardworking and positive person capable of fulfilling their God-given potential. 

It is a pleasure to lead a team of dedicated, highly skilled teachers and support staff who work in partnership with our hard working governors, volunteers and our local community to offer all of our pupils a well-balanced, challenging and enriching education within a supportive and loving Christian context. The team is committed to children’s well-being, achieving high standards and providing the very best opportunities for all in our care.

We are proud of our history of excellence. The highest possible standards are pursued; through a relentless focus on teaching and learning of the highest quality we provide a vibrant, rich and exciting curriculum for our pupils to enjoy their learning and excel. We prepare them for their future education, helping them to acquire the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm needed to embrace the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences in preparation for later life.

Silsoe VC Lower is a proudly Christian school that values the uniqueness of each child. We know each and every child and their individual needs, this enables us to carefully shape our work to ensure that everyone can flourish. We believe all our pupils are capable of truly remarkable things, we help them in being ambitious for themselves and support them in striving to achieve their very best, with all staff working collaboratively so that no child gets left behind. Our pupils enjoy coming to school, thrive and are happy!

I warmly welcome and encourage you to come and experience Silsoe VC Lower School for yourself, to see us in action, meet the staff and see the children enjoying learning, achieving and taking an active role in our school community.
