Welcome to Park Primary School
It is an absolute privilege to welcome you to Park Primary School. Since opening our doors in 1908, Park has been a cherished heart of this local area - a place where generations of families have grown, learned and thrived. From the moment I first stepped into Park Primary as Headteacher, I knew this was a truly exceptional school.
Visitors to Park frequently speak of the unmistakable sense of warmth, nurture and belonging that greets them the moment they walk through our doors. We believe that exceptional education begins with strong relationships. Here, every child is seen, known and celebrated as a unique individual. Our devoted team of staff care deeply about our pupils and their families, dedicating themselves daily to inspiring a lifelong love of learning.
Our community is at the core of everything we do. Having served local families for over a century, we take immense pride in helping our children build a strong sense of identity, self-worth and civic pride. We view education as a partnership, knowing that children flourish best when school and home work hand in hand.
Above all, we want Park Primary to be a place of joy, wonder and growth - a school where children arrive each day feeling safe, deeply cared for and excited to embrace new challenges.
While our website offers a glimpse into life at Park Primary, the true essence of our vibrant community is best experienced in person. If you are considering Park Primary for your child, I warmly invite you to come and visit us, walk our halls and feel the spirit of our school for yourself.
I look forward to welcoming you to our family.
Mrs Deborah Bertram
Headteacher

School
Our school is a vibrant, caring environment where every child is valued. We are committed to nurturing a love of learning through engaging lessons, creative opportunities, and high-quality teaching. We believe in celebrating individual strengths, encouraging resilience, and inspiring ambition, so that each child leaves us ready for the next stage of their educational journey.
Family
We believe education works best when school and family work hand in hand. We build strong and trusting relationships with parents, carers and extended family members, welcoming them as partners in their child’s learning journey. Together, we celebrate successes, overcome challenges, and create a network of support around every child.
Community
At Park, we help our pupils see themselves as active citizens who can shape a better future for all. We are proud to work closely with local organisations and community partners, creating meaningful connections that open doors to opportunities that enrich our pupils’ experiences. We encourage pride in our local area, a sense of responsibility towards others, and the belief that kindness and respect can make a real difference.
Together we believe…
a love of learning will help us thrive
opportunities and experiences shape out future and passions
in aspiring to be the best we can be
in a safe and happy environment
confidence and resilience will help us when faced with challenges
fairness and equality will remove barriers
we can all make an impact on the world
