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 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.”
