Flimby Primary School is a vibrant village school at the heart of the community. Nestled by the sea and the railway and once home to the many coal pits in the area. We are shrouded in village history, and we are soon to celebrate 150 years!
In September 2020 we joined Changing Lives Learning Trust which is enabling us to continue to grow and improve for our children, families and community. All of this could not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the staff who go above and beyond for our wonderful children and families. The children are well mannered, polite and will always make you smile. We are all privileged to be part of such a special team and community.

Last week, the Foundation Stage children found out lots about the job of a Civil Engineer.
They enjoyed reading about the Three Little Pigs and tested different materials to make a strong, sturdy house to keep the pigs safe from the Big Bad Wolf!
Some of the children put on a hard hat and hi-vis jacket to carry out surveys around the classroom and outdoor area.
Thank you, Alyx! The children thoroughly enjoyed it.
Aww I've just seen this now! Thank you so much for having me. I was very impressed with the creativity of your students and you definitely have some future civil engineers among them 💙👏 xx

Each week we are going to share a little snippet about reading. Reading is so important, please make sure you are reading at home together!Here are some more photos from our Y5&6 visit to Tullie House and Cumbria's Museum of Military Life!
Year 5&6 have recently had a visit to Tullie House and the Cumbria Musuem of Military Life in Carlisle Castle to enhance their learning about WW2. The children experienced being evacuees for the morning at Tullie House, riding in an old-fashioned railway carriage and looking at what they would have taken with them in their suitcase as an evacuee. They also looked at what life was like for the children who stayed with their families during the war and got to handle some real artefacts from WW2. In the afternoon, children learnt about what life was like as a soldier in WW2 at the museum of military life. They got to try on a soldier's uniform, experience the weight of the rifles and grenades that the soldier's had to carry and explored the museum's exhibits. Thank you to Tullie House and Cumbria's Museum of Military Life for a fantastic day, and thank you to Community Rail for provided free rail travel for our trip!
Just before Easter, Year 3&4 had a visit from a real-life Viking! They learnt about Viking weapons and why they were so feared, they learnt about the food the Vikings ate and the clothing they wore, used Viking artefacts to find out more about what life was like and even had a go at writing in Viking runes! They all had a fantastic day!
Bjarni really enjoyed his visit. We had some of the best volunteers and actors ever.
