From the Katesgrove Primary School
I'd like to extend a warm greeting to you on behalf of the students, teachers, and governors at Katesgrove Primary School. I am entirely devoted to my role as executive headteacher at Southcote Primary School as well as here. Our school has a nursery and is a sizable primary that recently underwent an expansion. I take great joy in making sure that every child has the best education possible, along with life skills instruction and a seamless transition to the next stage of their education. The children's enthusiasm for learning while acquiring crucial abilities and pleasant experiences is lovely to witness in the classroom. I work hard to provide for the families in my neighbourhood and am excited about the future. I hope that you will find our website to be user-friendly and helpful. It is intended to provide you a glimpse into school life, student work, and the high calibre education we work to provide for each child. You can request free copies of the information on the website by contacting the school office.
