A better, safer way to report when your child is sick and off school. With a few quick taps or clicks, you can give your child’s school all they need to record absence due to illness.
We are committed to the all-round development of our pupils and this is reflected through our continuing hard work on developing and enhancing our curriculum. We also source and utilise specialist teachers to enhance our provision, such as in Spanish, music and PE.
We aim to develop happy, resilient and responsible individuals who are given the opportunity to reach their full potential. We have strived to create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere where every pupil is supported to achieve their best. We believe strongly in the importance of a close working relationship between home and school to aid and support pupils’ progress.

Last Thursday, the whole school went down to the field to celebrate Mrs Lewis! We ate cake, played games, had a mini disco and thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Each class spent time with Mrs Lewis completing an activity of their choosing, with some rather unique choices! Goodbye Mrs Lewis, we will all miss you!
Last week, Year 4 made their own chocolate chip cookies, they were enjoyed by all.
Year 3 have had a brilliant day at Tyland Barn. They started off with pond dipping, exploring the pond habitat and identifying various species and pond wildlife. Some groups even managed to catch some fish! They had the opportunity after to explore some species up close using the microscope. After lunch, the children completed a workshop on beavers, learning about their characteristics and their habitats. Children worked in teams to build their own beaver dams and then tested these out afterwards to see if would work as a successful dam! Lots of fun was had by all, especially with the singing on the coach back to school.
We are pleased to announce that Temple Mill Primary School continues to be a “Good” school, following our recent Ofsted inspection!
Inspectors highlighted that “Pupils are rightly proud of their nurturing and inclusive school. They love coming to school and enjoy learning”, and that “Staff know the pupils very well and there are strong and trusting relationships”.
We would like to thank all of our staff for their tireless effort, and all of our parents for their never-ending support.
