WELCOME
Welcome to Yorkley Primary School
Hello and welcome to the website for Yorkley Primary School, part of The Forest of Dean Community Schools Federation, linked with Parkend Primary School working together to make our community stronger.
Set in the beautiful Forest of Dean, Yorkley is a friendly, popular and inclusive school of around 170 children. Ofsted rated us ‘Good’ overall with three areas ‘Outstanding’, reflecting our high standards and commitment to every child’s success.
Our dedicated staff create a caring, inspiring environment where children feel happy, confident and motivated to learn. We’re proud of our bespoke curriculum, additional enhancements and the way our pupils leave well prepared for the future.
I warmly invite you to visit and see why parents describe Yorkley as “simply superb – a happy, ambitious school where children love learning and strive to excel.”
Mrs Kate Burke, Executive Head
"Pupils are very proud of their school. It is easy to see why. It is a caring, cohesive community where everyone has pupils’ best interests at heart. They feel completely safe. Pupils look after one another. Pupils behave beautifully, their happiness and confidence are clear to see in their smiles. By putting pupils’ needs at the heart of their experience, the school provides well for all." - Ofsted
