Welcome to Parkside Primary Academy

I am very proud to be Head at Parkside and part of an amazing school community. Ever since my first day here, I have been overwhelmed by the behaviour, learning and effort of our children, the support of our parents and our hardworking, talented staff who are committed to giving the children at Parkside the very best education possible.

I believe that every child is entitled to excellent teaching and learning and that this shouldn't be dependent on background, where you live or how much money you have. Ensuring that every child has a high quality education means they become confident and articulate learners, independent thinkers and are well prepared for secondary school and life beyond. We are proud to celebrate the successes of our children academically and socially both inside and outside of the Academy. We believe that hard work and effort is the key to this success, which is why we have a number of weekly and half termly rewards to recognise this. Our children are proud to achieve these and they are valued by our parents who are invited to attend reward assembly every week. I am proud of our Academy and the community we serve and invite you to come and see what makes Parkside Primary Academy such a special place.

Visits are welcome at any time, during, before or after the school day, please contact the school office to make an appointment.
