Headteacher's Welcome
My name is Mrs. Saghir and I am proud to serve as the Headteacher of Ladypool Primary School. Ladypool is a small, welcoming and inclusive school in the heart of Sparkbrook, where we are privileged to serve a community of many diverse backgrounds.
At Ladypool, children are at the centre of everything we do. We believe every child can achieve and has the right to a broad, balanced curriculum that not only nurtures and supports but also challenges and stretches them to reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on providing a learning environment where pupils understand the value of their education, are encouraged to be ambitious and are inspired to be the very best they can be.
As a UNICEF Rights Respecting School, we place great importance on ensuring that every child knows and enjoys their right to learn and play in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment. Our pupils are enthusiastic, smart and motivated learners who strive to succeed. We work tirelessly to ensure they are happy, confident and prepared for the opportunities and challenges of both today and the future. We are also proud to be an OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) school, where play is celebrated as a vital part of children’s development, wellbeing and learning. We are fortunate to have a spacious outdoor area where children play, learn and thrive each day.
Our school site reflects both history and growth: our Victorian building, dating back to 1883, houses pupils from Year 2 to Year 6, while our 1970s extension and independent Nursery provide a bright and nurturing start for our youngest learners in Early Years and Year 1.
The staff and governors at Ladypool are dedicated to an ambitious vision for the school. We strongly believe that education is a partnership between home and school, and we deeply value the input, support and involvement of our parents and carers.
We hope this website offers you a clear picture of our school, our values, and the rich opportunities we provide through our curriculum and wider experiences. Please do visit regularly, as it is frequently updated, and if you cannot find what you are looking for, we warmly invite you to get in touch.
We also welcome your thoughts and suggestions - our doors are always open.
