Historically there has been a school in Silkstone since the 1740s.
The oldest part of the current school was built in 1929 and has been extended to accommodate seven class bases, each with its own carpeted reading corner and two with a shared reading/research area.
Each pair of classrooms shares a utility area and has its own entrance with toilets and cloakroom facilities.
There is a central dining/teaching area and a separate hall equipped with physical education apparatus. The school has a well-stocked library and a computer suite which houses our ICT equipment.
We have a large tarmac playground and substantial grassed playing fields.
The school is situated close to the centre of Silkstone, opposite the Ring O’ Bells Pub. Silkstone is situated just off the A628, follow the signs to Manchester at junction 37 of the M1.

School has two special SEN co-ordinators - Mrs Graham who is our lead SEN co-ordinator and is responsible for Key Stage 2, and Mrs Parsons who is responsible for Key Stage 1 and the Foundation Year.
Their role is to support staff in identifying children who are experiencing problems with the curriculum. In accordance with the government policy, they will follow the legal demands of the appropriate acts in keeping parents informed and involved if there is a need.
Children who are identified as having special needs are assigned an individual programme and offered the support where it is felt necessary.
This process is always undertaken after consultation with parents or guardians. Further details of school’s policy for providing for children with special educational needs are available from school or from one of our two special needs co-ordinators.
We open the doors to school from 8.50am. If your child is in Class R, 1, or 2 we encourage parents to come in to school at this time and work with their child on activities set out by the class teacher.
