Our School
Lythe CE VC Primary School is beautifully situated at the heart of its local community, surrounded by forest, moorland and the North Yorkshire coast.
We are lucky enough to possess our own minibus which gives us good access to our local area, allowing us to make good use of the resources on our doorstep, such as the library, sports centre, and further afield.
We have a clear ambition for everyone in the Lythe School family: our Vision is for our school community to flourish academically, physically and spiritually. We will shine as individuals and as a school family, going on to enhance the wider community and the lives of those around us.
The children of our school Ethos Group have worked to sum this up in a single, simple sentence that we use to guide and evaluate all our actions:
“Be the best you can be and let your light shine.”
