Kirkby Malham United VA Primary School is a co-educational school for day pupils. It is a non-denominational Voluntary Aided Foundation School, which was established in 1874 to provide education for the children of Malhamdale in the ancient parish of Kirkby-in-Malhamdale.
At Kirkby-in-Malhamdale Primary School our pupils are at the centre of all we hope to achieve regardless of ability, special educational need, race or gender.
Our school is a welcoming and friendly place where staff and pupils and their parents are valued and respected and visitors enjoy spending time with us.
Our pupils are encouraged to develop their individual skills and talents and to see themselves as learners within a positive learning environment.
We foster in our pupils a sense of excitement about learning and the exploration of the world around them. We encourage their curiosity and equip children with the necessary skills and attitudes to move successfully into the next phase of their learning journey.
