About Us

 

Based in the picturesque village of Appleby Magna (near the borders of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire and Warwickshire) Sir John Moore Primary is a small Church Aided School.

Set in a Grade 1 listed building, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the pupils benefit from observing history and sustainability in action every day.  From the protected wildlife in the grounds through to the recreated school room in the Heritage Centre at the top of the building, the children are inspired by learning in such a unique and historically significant environment.

As a Church of England Aided school, we're proud to have strong links to our local church. (See 'Our church' tab for further information)

We are driven by our vision of ‘Climbing to New Heights Together’—developing the Head, Heart and Hands so every pupil gains wisdom, grows in character, and acts with purpose
