We are delighted to welcome you to Temple Mill Primary School which became part of the Howard Academy Trust in 2015. The continuing upward trends of end of key stage results reflects the hard work and commitment of our experienced and settled staff working in partnership with governors, pupils and parents.
We are a single form entry school with its own onsite Nursery. There are 8 classes in school, from Nursery to Year 6, we have over 200 pupils on roll from Year R to Year 6 and over 30 children access the nursery provision, either full time or part time.
We are committed to the all-round development of our pupils and this is reflected through our continuing hard work on developing and enhancing our curriculum. We also source and utilise specialist teachers to enhance our provision, such as in Spanish, music and PE.
We aim to develop happy, resilient and responsible individuals who are given the opportunity to reach their full potential. We have strived to create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere where every pupil is supported to achieve their best. We believe strongly in the importance of a close working relationship between home and school to aid and support pupils’ progress.

Year 1 had a wonderful time diving into The Forest of Dreams, sparking their imaginations and inspiring creativity! After enjoying the story, the children created their very own dream forest collages. Things got delightfully messy along the way, but the results were fantasticfull of colour, texture, and imagination. We're so proud of their brilliant work!
Butterfly Class have been thoroughly enjoying exploring the early signs of spring in our outdoor area. The children have been busy observing the changes in the environment and making exciting discoveries. They also visited the school field for further exploration of their outdoor environment. They have found a variety of minibeasts, spotted new buds beginning to grow, and even uncovered a super long tree root! These hands-on experiences have sparked curiosity and encouraged lots of discussion about how nature changes during the spring season.
