Welcome to Lift Barton Hill, a vibrant and inclusive primary school in Torbay! As Principal, it is my privilege to lead a dedicated team committed to providing an exceptional education for every child. We strive to create a nurturing environment where curiosity is sparked, learning is celebrated, and every young person feels valued, safe, and empowered to achieve their very best. We believe that a strong foundation in primary education is crucial, and we are passionate about preparing our children for their next steps in life and learning.
Our school is driven by a clear mission: "We will provide an excellent education to every child, in every classroom, every day". This commitment underpins our approach to teaching and learning, ensuring a rich and engaging curriculum designed to challenge thinking, foster a deep love of knowledge, and equip children with the skills they need for future success. This includes our strong focus on foundational skills like reading, and a robust approach to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision, ensuring all pupils, regardless of their starting point, are supported to achieve ambitious academic outcomes and progress.
Beyond the classroom, Lift Barton Hill thrives on strong partnerships with our families and the wider Torbay community. We believe that by working together, we can create the most supportive and enriching experience for our pupils. This website serves as a window into our school life, showcasing our achievements and providing essential information. We invite you to explore further and encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or would like to learn more about our thriving school.
