Welcome to Pennyman Primary Academy

A warm welcome to Pennyman Primary Academy – where every child is celebrated, supported, and inspired.

As part of Tees Valley Education, we are proud to belong to a family of academies committed to excellence and deeply rooted in our local communities. Together, we strive to create a rich and memorable primary school experience that encourages every child to thrive, explore, and achieve their very best.

Pennyman is a vibrant and inclusive learning community, offering both mainstream education and specialist provision. Our motto, ‘Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day’, reflects our unwavering belief in the potential of every child and our dedication to unlocking it through meaningful learning experiences.

We are incredibly proud of the warm, family atmosphere that defines our academy. High expectations go hand-in-hand with compassion and care, ensuring that children grow not only academically but also socially and emotionally. Through a broad and balanced curriculum, we nurture confidence, resilience, and curiosity—encouraging children to take risks, embrace mistakes, and celebrate their successes.

Our talented and committed staff are the heartbeat of Pennyman. Their passion and professionalism create a safe and stimulating environment where children feel supported and challenged. We invest in our team’s development because we know that great teaching transforms lives.

Our shared values—Ready, Respectful, Safe—are embraced by pupils, staff, and families alike. They guide everything we do and help our children become thoughtful, happy, and successful individuals who contribute positively to their school, trust, and wider community.

As Headteacher, I am deeply committed to our children and families. It is a privilege to lead such a dedicated and caring team, and to work in partnership with our families to ensure every child feels valued, confident, and excited about learning. At Pennyman, we believe in building strong relationships and creating a nurturing environment where children can flourish.

We would be delighted to welcome you to Pennyman Primary. If you’d like to visit or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to meeting you and sharing all that makes our academy so special.
