One of the most important decisions you will have to make is choosing the primary school which is right for your child.

The White Peak Federation consists of two small, family-orientated primary schools. Committed to ‘laying the foundations for a bright future’ for our children, we work together to provide stimulating environments where we know each of our pupils well and they are valued, encouraged and supported to achieve their fullest potential, empowering them to make their best contribution to their community and beyond.

Our friendly and caring schools, just 20 minutes apart are each set within the picturesque Derbyshire Peaks. With a skilful and dedicated team of teachers and learning support staff to ensure every individual has the space to think, learn, interact with others and grow to become astute, confident learners, making good or better progress.

Monyash C of E (VC) Primary School and Winster C of E Primary school are rated good schools (Ofsted ) providing the best educational experiences, striving to secure high educational standards for our pupils whilst giving high priority to their personal, moral, spiritual, and cultural development, encouraging respect for each other and of other faiths and cultures, all underpinned by our strong commitment to our values.

Located at the heart of each community respectively, Monyash and Winster C of E Primary Schools have spacious, bright and well organised classrooms and learning areas where a broad, balanced and exciting curriculum, personalised to meet the needs of all our children, from the very start of their school life, is successfully delivered.   

Our pupils are, without a doubt, the best measure of our success and I encourage you to come and visit us, meet our pupils, staff and governors and find out for yourself what makes our schools within the White Peak Federation unique and inspiring learning communities.

We look forward to meeting you.

Mrs Sharon Slack, Headteacher
