Welcome...

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.

Today we have a lovely picture book recommendation from another of our fantastic Reading Ambassadors: ‘Waffles and Julius’ by Ed Vere. Although this story is aimed at KS1 readers, our ambassador insists that it's impossible to read without smiling at the hilarious antics of the lovable dog, Waffles and the incredibly grumpy cat, Julius. Full of humour, friendship and mischief, it's a book that readers of all ages can enjoy together. Definitely one to add to your library wishlist this half term! #ReadingForPleasure #HalfTermReads #ReadingAmbassadors #BookRecommendation

19th October 2026

Our brilliant Reading Ambassadors will be sharing a recommended read every day this week to inspire some half-term reading! 📚🍂 Today’s bookworm recommends ‘Stories of Magic and Mischief’ by Enid Blyton as the perfect autumnal read. She loves that you can dip in and out of the collection’s short stories and that it’s packed with interesting and entertaining characters - especially the pixies! It sounds like the perfect book to curl up with this October! 🍁✨
