As Acting Headteacher of Flushdyke Junior and Infant School, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our new website. We hope it provides you with an insight into our vibrant, happy and successful school.

With just over 100 pupils, we are a small, inclusive and thriving community with big ambitions. Situated in Ossett, West Yorkshire, we are very much a family of learners.

Our stable and knowledgeable staff team is fully committed to ensuring all children reach their potential and have plenty of opportunities to 'Fly High at Flushdyke'.

Firm in our belief that children come first, we strive to ensure that every pupil at Flushdyke feels happy and safe.

As the leaders of the future, we actively encourage our children to develop independence, confidence and teamwork.

I hope you find everything you need on our website. However, if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at headteacher@flushdyke.wakefield.sch.uk.
