Welcome to Parkside Primary School

On behalf of all the Staff, Governors, Children and Wider Community, I would like to offer you a warm welcome to Parkside Primary School.

Parkside Primary School is a vibrant, joyful and caring school where I am incredibly proud to serve as Headteacher.

At Parkside, the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll feel the energy, warmth and deep sense of care that define our school community. Our dedicated and passionate staff work extremely hard to ensure every child feels safe, valued and inspired each and every day.

We know that childhood is a precious time.  We believe strongly in creating positive memories that will last a lifetime. While children may one day forget the finer details of their school years, they will never forget how they were made to feel.  This is why our focus is on nurturing confidence, belonging and joy in everything we do!

Every child at Parkside is given the chance to shine. Whether it's discovering hidden talents, learning to take pride in their achievements or pursuing academic excellence, we are here to help and guide each child become the very best version of themselves.

Our values are woven throughout everything we do here at Parkside. They prepare children for the next stage of their education and beyond...

• Determination - children and staff that are determined to do their best to achieve the highest goals.
• Kindness - a school built on mutual respect and inclusive practice in which friendships blossom.
• Resilience - the capacity to withstand or overcome challenges. 
• Respect - children, and staff that show respect for each other, our belongings, and our wider community.
• Independence - a skill that lends itself to all aspects of life, finding ways of and overcoming barriers to reach our goals.
• Pride - at the heart of our values, a strong sense of pride in their belonging to Parkside and their unique place they hold within our school.
• These values form the foundation of our school culture , guiding our children as they grow into confident and compassionate young people.

 I fundamentally believe that schools should be joyful places, full of curiosity, creativity and kindness- that is exactly what we aim for each and every day at Parkside.

I warmly invite you to explore our website and discover more about what makes our school such a wonderful place to learn, grow and thrive.
