Headteacher's Welcome
It is our pleasure to welcome you to our website.
Being the product of the amalgamation of Urmston Infant and Junior Schools in 2017, we are extremely proud of Urmston Primary and everyone involved in our community, particularly our wonderful children.
We believe Urmston Primary School is a special place with a clear ethos of learning together and caring for each other. Our school values of being kind, happy, responsible, respectful and resilient are at the core of all we do and mean that our children are developing into young people who we are tremendously proud of.

‘Growing Together.
Empowered to be more.’
This motto is symbolic of life at our school.
Urmston Primary is a happy, outward-facing place at the heart of the community. It is an inclusive place where everyone belongs and everyone knows how to make each other feel safe, seen, heard and valued. Our kind and caring children and staff make every moment matter and are proud to be part of our school. Pupils are increasingly self-aware and empathetic, taking responsibility for their choices and actions and urging others to do the same, being respectful of people’s uniqueness at all times.
All staff support the children on a journey to becoming resilient and comfortable in making mistakes and learning from them, realising that they are part of learning, make them better people and help them be the best that they can be, academically, personally and socially. Our children’s desire to understand and better themselves means that they love a challenge and support each other to achieve, with kindness and the passion to make the world a better place being the main motivator.
UNICEF Rights Respecting School
In November 2023, we were given the status of being a Rights Aware School as part of UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Schools Awards. Next we’ll be going for gold. It is testament to the staff’s passion to highlight to the children of our school, our responsibilities in looking out for one another and helping our children to see the importance of sticking up for people’s rights – and making them aware of their own! Well done to Ms Ahle for leading this, as no doubt she will be doing on our journey to gold!
In order to achieve the Silver Award, we needed to illustrate as a school community, as staff and as children being part of UPS, that we are aware of the rights of children and are intent upon not only upholding those rights in our setting, but raising awareness of the rights of children across our country and across the world. This will be through how we discuss certain issues with the children and with the intent and implementation of our curriculum.
