The little school that makes a big difference.

Welcome to
Lockington Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

We are delighted you have visited our website. We hope you find it helpful and informative.

We have a team of dedicated, nurturing and highly qualified staff; governors committed to ensuring every pupil achieves their full potential; supportive parents and great links with the community. Our pupils are kind, caring and eager to learn.

We are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted (2023), with ‘Outstanding Behaviour and Attitudes’ and ‘Outstanding’ by SIAMs (2016).

We are proud of our achievements, our broad and balanced curriculum and the wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities. We have expanded our offer which includes daily
before and after-school care and Lockington Little Lights (fifteen hours of nursery provision for pupils aged 3+).

Our Christian Vision

“Let your light shine, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16).

We are inspired through the love of God, each other and our world, to challenge ourselves to fulfil our God-given potential through our core Christian values of compassion, creativity and perseverance.

We are an inclusive school and, as a Church of England school, these values guide everything we do.  Our Christian vision, ‘Let your light shine before others’, inspires our whole school community to achieve their full potential.
