Eureka Primary School

Eureka Primary School - where all of our children come first. A wonderfully caring community for 'enjoying - engaging - enhancing - enabling' learning.

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the page of Eureka - a unique name for a unique school! At Eureka we strive to create an atmosphere of belonging, where all children and adults feel safe, valued and included. We believe: ‘There can be no issue of greater importance to parents and carers, or to schools, than the safety of their children.’ Ofsted 2011. Eureka's children are happy, generous and har

dworking - showing a real passion for their school. Visitors comment on their positive attitude, and the genuine pride they have for their school. Their contribution is vital to the life of this wonderful place that opens the hearts and minds of everyone who has the pleasure to be involved with us. Our staff know the children and they know us - a mutual respect exists between us. We all strive to be the best we can by following our PRIDE (Presentation, Resilience, Independence, Determination, Engagement) ethos that makes us Eureka! Our ethos, and being 'Safe, Happy and Comfortable' underpin everything we do at Eureka. Our Governors work with the school to ensure that the children are given the best opportunities to develop their potential to the full. We are one big welcoming family and we hope that our website and this space on Facebook provides you with a true taste of all things 'Eureka!'
Our door is 'always open' should you want to visit us and share the Eureka Experience. Miss Cassie Hurt - Headteacher

Exciting scenes today as Derbyshire County Council delivered the 1st of our new classroom blocks...it's slightly bigger than we anticipated and we can't quite remember it looking like this in the plans!

Well done to the team for turning Teddy’s design into a finished piece of art. This will be on display in the Imaginarium at the Swadlincote Festival of Words. A great team effort!

Congratulations to Teddy H for winning the competition to decorate a large 'M' for use in the 'imaginarium' at the Swadlincote Festival of Words with his Mr Men inspired design.

He has won a £10 Amazon voucher to buy himself some art supplies or a few new book.

The range of designs was phenomenal and all of the runners up will be getting a chocolate bar to say thank you for their efforts. They'll also be given the opportunity to turn Teddy's vision into reality by helping out with decorating the M itself.

Ms Sherriff wanted to pass on her sincere gratitude to everyone who has sent her cards, presents and well wishes on her last day today - as you can see she was so overwhelmed with your generosity she needed a lie down!

As for us here at Eureka, we are incredibly grateful for the care, love and effort Ms Sherriff has put into helping so many children over the past decade! We wish her the best of luck in her new role.

A succesful evening down at Pennine Way Junior Academy with a closely contested game of football played in the right spirit. We ran out 2 - 0 winners with goals from Jensen and Ellis. A notable mention to Teddy who kept a clean sheet in his first game in goal for Eureka.
