Marcia Harris is the headteacher of Cradley CE Primary School, where I take great pride in serving. These principles are what distinguish Cradley as unique. They serve as the foundation for everything we do and are vital to who we are. The goal of our highly dedicated teaching staff is to provide all of our students with excellent learning opportunities in a vibrant, interesting, and inclusive atmosphere. We appreciate the help from our parents and governors and enjoy collaborating with them to make sure that every student receives the finest education possible. The school benefits from its close ties to St. Peter's Church as we give students opportunity to advance both individually and spiritually. Our students are inspired to be civically engaged, self-reflective, intelligent individuals who care about both their own neighbourhood and the larger world. Please drop by and say hello to us; we love visitors. We look forward to showing you around our school and hope that you will see our ideals in action and get a taste of life at Cradley while you are here.
