Headteacher's Welcome

Dear Parents and Carers, 

On behalf of all of the staff and children, I would like to welcome you and thank you for your interest in Southtown Primary School.  I hope that you will find our prospectus both interesting and informative.

At Southtown Primary School we aim to provide a language rich, broad and balanced education for all pupils that is coherently planned, connected and sequenced towards sufficient knowledge and skills for future learning.   We work to ensure equal access to learning for all pupils, with high expectations for all and appropriate levels of challenge and support.  We also aim to equip all pupils with the skills, knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life.

High standards of behaviour are expected at all times and our children learn to value both their community and environment.  Children are encouraged to value not only themselves and their independence, but also to respect and celebrate the opinions, achievements and cultures of others.

We welcome the involvement of parents and carers in many aspects of school life. You are essential partners in the education of your children.  Parents and carers are kept informed of developments at school through weekly Headteacher newsletters, and half termly newsletters from your child’s class teacher.

I look forward to welcoming your child to Southtown Primary School.

Ben Newstead
