(Jesus said) “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put in under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in Heaven.”

(Matthew 5: 14-16) (taken from the Sermon on the Mount)

“Learn to let your light shine!”

This passage taken from the words of Jesus at the Sermon on the Mount, underpins our vision to work to support all pupils and staff to flourish and excel in their aspirations. We welcome all God’s children and their families into our Driffield Infant School Community. A place where children and adults of all faiths and none, flourish and are inspired by the Christian character and values of our school and learn to love God, one another and themselves (Mark 12:30-31)in order that they can ‘Live Life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10).

Our Christian Values:

Friendship, Peace, Respect, Honesty, Perseverance, Creativity

This half-term we are reflecting on our School Vision 'Learn to Let your light Shine' and finding out about the people Jesus met.

Some comments from parents on our recent survey .

'Just want to say a big Thankyou! It has been a pleasure for both of my children going to your school! I will miss the staff and school very much!'

'Have loved having both my children at the school they have thrived with your teaching and the ethos of the school. They couldn't have had a better start to their school life Thank you for everything you have done for them.'

'My child was a late starter into reception, from visiting the school he did not want to leave, he loves attending every day. I feel this is a true reflection of an outstanding school and staff. All staff always helpful whatever the question I have is. This for me is very important. I love the books he brings home, which are really bringing on his reading. We couldn't be any happier with out choice of school for our son. Thanks.'

Welcome to our school

Welcome to Driffield Church of England Infant School. We hope that you will find our website helpful whether your child already attends our school or you are considering enrolling your child to join us.

I am delighted to be the new Headteacher of Driffield CE Infant School and to lead such a dedicated, caring and skilled team of staff.

Driffield CE Infant School is a very happy school where children are valued and are at the centre of all our polices and procedures. Our vision, rooted in the teachings of Jesus is that we all 'learn to let our lights shine' and 'live life in all it's fullness'. Our aim is that all of our children will flourish and learn to love God, themselves and one another. We realise the importance of their social and emotional development and well being and ensure we support them not only in flourishing academically but also in having good mental health and self esteem.

One of our main aims is to work in close partnership with our pupils, their parents and carers and our local community, particularly All Saints Church in Driffield. We are proud to be a Church School and our Christian Vision and our Values are central to everything we do. We pride ourselves ourselves in being a place where children and adults of all faiths and none, flourish and are inspired by the Christian character and values of our school.

As an infant school our curriculum and expertise are all focused on the needs of children from the ages of 4 to 7. We offer a bespoke education which prepares your child for continued success at the age of 7. Our links with the Junior School are very strong ensuring your child is supported and nurtured every step of the way!

Please come and visit if you are considering joining us and remember to stay in close contact with us if you are already with us. Our door is always open!
