Parklands Community Primary & Nursery School sees the potential in every child. We know that education changes lives and we have high expectations for all our pupils. Our team work hard to deliver opportunities for children to exceed their own expectations and believe in themselves in a way that they might never have thought possible. This is reflected in our Ofsted report from October 2022.
We ensure children become successful independent learners for life through a broad education focused on academic success, excellence in terms of care and welfare, and ensuring their talents and achievements are recognised & developed. When children leave our school, we want them to be excited about the opportunities that exist for them and have the confidence and skills vital for success in Key Stage 3 and in later life. We seek to create responsible, resilient and curious citizens. Each half-term we focus on one of our school values: independence, cooperation, respect, responsibility, resilience & ambition.
We want our children to be the best they can be and have three clear school rules to be: Ready, Respectful and Safe. We provide a caring and safe environment for your child and safeguarding is paramount. The school’s governing board, SENCo and learning mentors are very supportive. Around 60% of pupils are entitled to Pupil Premium and around 25% have been identified as having Special Education Needs. Around 5% of the school population are from the traveller community, though this figure fluctuates, and the number of pupils with EAL is increasing.
