aboutus
Taddington and Priestcliffe School is situated in a beautiful village in the Peak District National Park. We have fantastic grounds including a playing field and extensive woodlands adjoining the countryside. Only 10 minutes from Buxton, and within reach of Chesterfield and Sheffield, we enjoy an enviable location.
The school is on the edge of Taddington village and is one of the highest schools in Derbyshire. There is a strong working village community which is supportive of the school.
Governors accept pupils who live within the Church Parish, mainly the village, then outlying hamlets and occasionally pupils from further afield. We are "small" in terms of the number of pupils but we have a big heart and big ambitions.
We are proud of our distinctly Christian Ethos. Our values underpin all that we do in school.
Enjoy browsing our website for an insight into what we believe is a truly unique school!

Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

"Classrooms are industrious places where pupils listen to their teachers and get on with their work well and independently and in cooperation with their classmates." Ofsted 2018

We have one clear vision: 'We Care About Each Other'
based on the parable from the Bible, the Good
Shepherd, we have a firm belief that nobody should be left behind and the needs of the few are just as important as the needs of the many now and in the future. This means...

...showing mutual respect in every way
