Mrs Nikki Rayner

Head of School

I would like to welcome you to Crakehall Church of England Primary School.

As Head of School, it is my pleasure to share with you our beautiful, unique school set in the heart of North Yorkshire. We have between 90 - 100 children on roll, taught across 4 classes. 

Our school vision is at the heart of everything we do, it is the foundation to our curriculum, development and wellbeing. We believe in nurturing all children by supporting and encouraging them to become the best versions of themselves. 

We are growing together to:

  • Build strength through resilience.
  • Value myself and others
  • Understand the world around us.

We look forward to welcoming you and your children into our Crakehall family. 


As part of the Synergy Schools Federation, we embrace Synergy School's vision of "Learn, Grow & Shine together" whilst we live life in its fulness.

Class 3 Spotlight 🌟 Class 3 have had a fantastic week and have been working incredibly hard across all areas of the curriculum! In Science, we have continued our learning about light and UV rays. The children have carried out a couple of exciting investigations using UV-sensitive beads to test how well different materials and different suncreams block UV rays. They then used their findings to design and create their own sunglasses, thinking carefully about which materials would provide the best protection. In Maths, we have continued our learning about shape. The children have worked hard to develop their understanding of key concepts and have been learning lots of new mathematical vocabulary to help explain their thinking and reasoning. In English, we have begun our new text, The Fox in the Night. The children have enjoyed exploring the story and discussing its themes. This will lead to them writing their own explanation texts, linking closely to our Science topic on light and how we see. Well done, Class 3, for another week of fantastic learning and enthusiasm. Keep up the great work! ⭐🦊🕶️🔦

Class 2 Spotlight 🌟 Class 2 have had a fantastic first week back! We have been busy practising for Sports Day, working hard on our running skills and showing great determination during our PE lessons. We have also loved starting our new topic on seaside holidays and have created some fantastic brochures to showcase our learning. To link with our holidays topic, we have begun learning about Grace Darling in English. Today, we listened to Grace’s story and acted out different parts of her life. We imagined stepping into Grace’s shoes and thought carefully about how she would have felt during her brave rescue. The children showed great empathy and enthusiasm as they brought the story to life. Well done, Class 2 – what a wonderful start to the half term! ⭐🌊🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️
