Welcome to Abbey Road Primary School
For those of you visiting our school website for the first time, I am delighted that you have chosen to find out more about us. I hope that you are able to gain a flavour of life at Abbey Road from all of the information here, as well as by following the link to our Twitter feed. If you do require any further help, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
We are a happy school and we work hard to make sure our children feel valued, safe, secure and aware of the needs of others. At the heart of this lies the strength of relationships between both pupils and staff. A warm, supportive atmosphere permeates our school and this is evident in the outstanding behaviour of our children. All are encouraged to ‘take care and be proud’ – of each other as well as themselves; of the work they do and the school environment – and our dedicated staff team make the time to get the best from each child, ensuring individuality is nourished and nurtured.
Our teachers devote a great deal of energy to planning for the achievement of our children within a learning environment that is meaningful and fun and whilst we attain excellent examination results, they encounter far more than academic success. We want our children to discover new talents; to enjoy learning; to question and explore and to gain independence, enabling them to move on from here with confidence.
We very much value our excellent partnership with parents and carers and welcome your support and involvement. We know that by working together, we can enable every child to be the best that they can be.
I am very proud to be the Head Teacher of Abbey Road Primary School and I invite you to come and visit us so that you can start to feel for yourselves, the essence of our school.
