Stanah Community Primary School (formerly Stanah County Primary School) is an English mixed primary school located in the Stanah area of Thornton, Lancashire.
Built in the 1960s,[1] the school, located on Lambs Road (or, as it is known locally, Lambs Hill) has around 400 pupils, aged 4 to 11.[2] Its head teacher is Ian Todd. He replaced Tony Ford, who retired in the summer of 2006 after twelve years in the role.[1] One of the earlier and long-serving head teachers was Jean Fisher.
The school comprises two separate buildings. A smaller annex (infants) is attended by the foundation class and years 1 and 2. For year 3, the children move into the larger main building (juniors). The smaller building was mothballed in the early 1980s when school rolls dropped,[1] but it was renovated and reopened around a decade later. The infants building also houses a preschool nursery called Stanah Sunflowers.
Its distinctive white chimney with black rim, which resembled a magician's wand with its colours reversed, was repainted all-white in the 1990s.
