Welcome

We are a small, family orientated village school on the outskirts of the historic city of Durham.

We are incredibly proud of the work we do with all members of our school community, who together ensure we provide our children with a fantastic start to their school career in a friendly, safe and welcoming environment.

Esh Church of England Primary School Christian Vision

‘Building Together’

The Wise and Foolish Builders

At Esh Church of England Primary School our Christian Vision is ‘building together’. Any building needs to have a firm and solid foundation. In the story of the wise and foolish builders, Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus talks about listening to and obeying his teaching. Through collective worship we listen to and reflect upon the word of God in order to have that firm and solid foundation. When ‘building together’, we put into practice the teachings of Jesus as we support, encourage and work as a whole school community to act out our Christians values of Respect, Compassion and Perseverance.

To build our community which is made up of children, staff, parents, Governors, the church community and the wider community we need to work together as a community upon that firm foundation ‘together’. We show this by demonstrating our Christian Values of Compassion, Perseverance and Respect.
