Somers Park Primary School has grown significantly over recent years following the construction in 2018 of the Malvern Vale satellite expansion site less than a mile from Somers Park. Our two sites work very much as one, with teachers working together and children learning the same curriculum.
Growing a year group at a time, our Malvern Vale site is now full, at the seven-class capacity. We have the best of both worlds - fantastic modern facilities with a small school feel at the Malvern Vale site, accompanied by our Somers Park site, which has an established, forward-thinking culture, demonstrating proven success over several years.
We are fully inclusive, holding high expectations and aspirations for all. At our last Ofsted in the summer of 2022, we were graded as a good school, with outstanding judgements for both Early Years, and Personal Development, commenting that ‘Pupils thrive at Somers Park Primary School.’ We couldn’t put it better ourselves!
We are proud of the way our learners are prepared for the next phase of their education and beyond. Our Think. Know. Explain. Do. curriculum model encourages inquisitive thinking and independent learning. The curriculum is enhanced by a balanced and interesting enrichment programme of additional experiences and visits.
