About Our School
Welcome to Kinlet CE Primary School.
I would like to welcome you to our school and website on behalf of the staff, Governors and children. Kinlet is a busy, welcoming village school, situated at the heart of the Shropshire countryside. Our small size fosters a friendly, inclusive family atmosphere. We believe that when you join Kinlet Primary School you become a member of our 'school family' and we hope that you and your child wish to share fully in the active life of the school. We aim to make sure that each one of our pupils feels safe and is enthusiastic, secure and confident.
We believe that education is a partnership between home and school and that we should share this responsibility. We want your child's time with us to be a happy and fulfilling one, full of rich and rewarding experiences where they can achieve their full potential and experience an exciting range of learning opportunities and skills.
As a Voluntary Controlled School we have close links with the church and promote a Christian ethos which is reflected in our school motto.
"Love to Learn : Learn to Love."
Kinlet has been federated with Farlow C of E Primary School since March 2013. We have a joint headteacher and governing body.
We are proud of our school and hope that through this website you will get a taste of what we offer and how we work. Whether you are a parent, a pupil or a friend of the school, I hope you enjoy finding out about our unique school. If you are a prospective parent I would be very happy to meet you and show you around. Please contact the school to arrange a visit.
Thank you for visiting.

Our school is a Safer School
West Mercia Police and TrustEd Schools Multi Academy Trust support our school with the Safer School initiative. We are an accredited Safer School and proud of our Safer School sign and certificate. The accreditation is reviewed annually.
The initiative is a holistic, practical and realistic approach to school security and personal safety. It gives our school a clear focus on the subject and turns a negative subject into a positive one. It sets a minimum standard for school security.
The essential elements of the Safer School process include:
- Implementing a security policy that the governors have adopted.
- Consulting parents/carers and pupils for their views and updating them on any progress.
- Publicity of Safer Schools to school staff, pupils, school neighbours, parents/carers, and prospective parents/carers.
- Establishing a Safer School group. This Safer School group is a partnership of school stakeholders – Headteacher/Deputy, staff, governors, parents, pupils, neighbours, TrustEd Schools Multi Academy Trust and West Mercia Police.
- Regularly reviewing and implementing good practice and essential security/safety measures.
- A proportional pro-active approach to the security/safety/safeguarding of staff, pupils, visitors, premises, property and assets.
- Educating pupils through the Personal, Social, Health and Economic curriculum programme.
- A daily procedure for recording incidents should they occur i.e. trespass, burglary, theft, anti-social behaviour, vandalism, arson, suspicious activity etc., both during school hours and out-of hours.
- Solving real problems rather than perceived problems. Prioritising work (if any) and reviewing action.
- If there are security issues i.e., vandalism, anti-social behaviour etc., the intention of the initiative is to reduce/eliminate the issues.
