Welcome to Lidget Green Primary School

On behalf of all the staff, pupils and Trustees I would like to wish you a very warm welcome to Lidget Green Primary School.

Lidget Green Primary School is a thriving, large primary school which serves a diverse and supportive local community. We pride ourselves on being a fully inclusive and nurturing school that has high expectations and aspirations for all our pupils and staff.
Our children experience a rich curriculum and enjoy an exciting wide range of opportunities, including outdoor learning, trips, sport, music and much more. We know these experiences are essential in motivating and engaging the children in their learning but also in increasing their knowledge, expanding their vocabulary and developing their character. We want our pupils to have lifelong, happy memories of their primary school years that they will treasure.
