On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I am proud to welcome you to Lower Darwen Primary School. I am proud to be the Executive Headteacher of such a dedicated , driven and passionate school team.  Your child's happiness and them reaching their full potential is at the heart of everything we do here.  To achieve this, we are driven by our six core values:

 - self-belief

 - integrity

 - leadership

 - entrpreneurship

 - determination

 - courage

Lower Darwen Primary School is a large primary school nestled within the village of Lower Darwen. Our resourced provision for deaf children adds to the rich tapestry of our wonderfully diverse school community. All children access a broad and balanced curriculum that is underpinned by powerful knowledge of english and maths but also successfully prepares our pupils for life in modern Britain and the wider world. We achieve this by delivering a curriculum that:

 - is purposeful

 - provides meaningful learning experiences

 - takes learning outside of the classroom

 - fosters holistic development

 - develops active citizenship

We are proud of our good OFSTED judgement. It is impossible to describe how wonderful our school is on this website alone. To get a sense of our warm, loving and kind school ethos, we openly welcome you to visit us and see it for yourself. Visits can be arranged by contacting Mrs D Dixon at office@lowerdarwen.blackburn.sch.uk.
