Welcome to Halesowen Church of England Primary School. I am delighted to have been appointed as the Headteacher here in December 2018.

My name is Lorna Knowles. I have worked at this wonderful school since 2003 and have held a number of roles. I feel that I know the school inside out and it is an important part of my life. I am passionate about ensuring we give our children the very best deal and am fortunate to be supported by a fantastic staff team, hardworking governing body and amazing parents.

Halesowen Church of England Primary School is a small school in Halesowen town centre with strong links to the local church and our community. It is a one form entry school, with a real family feel. We pride ourselves on knowing each child and family really well.

We have high expectations at Halesowen C of E and we expect everyone to do their best. We aim to develop in our children a real sense of belonging along with high self esteem and confidence, in order that each individual can achieve their potential. Our children are enthusiastic and curious with a real love of learning.

As a church school, we have a strong relationship with St. John's church community and Christian values underpin everything we do. We reflect our diverse community by celebrating together which deepens the children's understanding of one another, and how people with different beliefs and cultures to their own can live harmoniously together.

Our school motto "We care, we trust, we believe. We share, we enjoy, we achieve" is the forefront of everything that we do at Halesowen Church of England Primary School.

Things have been challenging over the past 2 years as we have all faced the Covid pandemic. Whilst it has been a challenge we are proud of how together as a community we have ensured that children received an education and families and staff were supported. This is testament to our strong ethos. We are now looking forward to recovering from this period and moving forwards to getting back to some sort of normality in school. We are highly focused on ensuring children's well being is taken care of as well as helping them to fulfil their potential in their learning.
