I am privileged to be Head of School at Jerounds Primary Academy and would like to welcome you to our expansive education.

We are delighted to be part of the NET Academy Trust. The key aim of NET Academies Trust is to promote and lead innovative practice to help raise educational outcomes for all pupils.

At Jerounds we place great emphasis on high expectations of work and behaviour, good relationships and caring attitudes between everyone involved in the school. By working in partnership with parents and the community it is our aim to:

Provide high quality education through a creative, varied and challenging curriculum.
Value each individual and foster self-esteem, mutual respect, responsibility and good citizenship.
Provide a safe, caring and stimulating environment.
Provide equal and appropriate opportunities for all.
Develop independence and a positive attitude to learning.
Through our engaging curriculum, we ensure that children can foster a passion for learning and curiosity that will help to develop: a strong knowledge base, high aspirations and a lifetime of memories. We believe in ensuring that children receive a well-rounded education; where individual talents can be spotted and nurtured to ensure that all children experience success and reach their potential.

The school has a dedicated team that works hard to reach high standards in everything we do and this is further embedded through our successful relationships with parents, the local community and the other local schools within NET. We firmly believe that education is a partnership between home and school and regard you as an active partner in your child's education and value your interest and support.

You’ll find our classrooms to be hives of activity and full of creativity and learning, making Jerounds a special place indeed for children. The staff endeavour to provide a calm and stimulating environment where good behaviour and mutual respect is modelled by everyone and where everyone is valued.

If you would like to know more about our school, you are very welcome to come and visit. The children of Jerounds very much enjoy talking about and sharing their achievements and our successes.
