Fountains CE Primary School is located in the village of Grantley which is approximately 5 miles west of the City of Ripon.  The school has been in the village for many years and has strong and close relationships with the local church and community.


Fountains CE Primary school is part of a three-school partnership with Grewelthorpe CE Primary based in Grewelthorpe village and North Stainley CE Primary based in the village of North Stainley.  The schools have Mrs Katie Barker as Interim Headteacher and a shared Local Academy Council, made up of parents, staff, foundation governors including the incumbents of the local churches and community governors, co-chaired by Mrs Rachel Bain and Mr Nathaniel Potts.


The curriculum is bespoke to the school meeting the specific needs of the children within its three classes.  All Fountains children have their own class teacher and to ensure high quality teaching across all curriculum subjects there is a sharing of teaching expertise and specialism across the three schools.
