About our school:

Palterton Primary School is a small school in a rural location, which welcomes children from the village and surrounding areas. We are very proud of our family feel and how well we get to know every child who comes to our school. We have 4 classes named after Derbyshire Halls; Renishaw class for our Reception children, Ilam class for our Year 1/ 2 children, Chatsworth class for our Year 3/ 4 children and Hardwick class for our Year 5/ 6 children.

Every member of our school community is encouraged to promote and live by our four values of Respect, Innovation, Challenge and Happiness – R.I.C.H. Through our values, each of us in school considers how our actions enable us to achieve our potential and set ourselves future goals to aspire towards. Through understanding our school's values, every child in the school is supported to develop personally, socially and academically. Our children recognise the importance of their interaction with other children to their own success and that of their peers. They are encouraged to think carefully about how our school values will help them to make positive decisions both now and in their future life.
