From the Keresforth Primary School
It is a pleasure to have you visit Keresforth Primary School. We are a community primary school that values the efforts of every person associated with the institution. As a school, we firmly believe that the child is at the centre of their education, and as a result, we work incredibly hard to make sure that all students have an equal chance to achieve their full potential. We have a team of employees that are dedicated to fostering a caring, child-centered culture and who are extremely motivated and enthusiastic. We focus on educating the whole child while providing professional instruction, an unique curriculum, and high academic standards. We believe that every child can succeed, and through effective teaching and learning, as well as the connections we create with parents and the larger community, our kids graduate from school as capable, self-assured learners who have the know-how to carry on their lifelong learning journey. Home and school work together in the name of education. We think that when family and school collaborate, kids learn more effectively. Children arrive at school with a plethora of information and insight about the outside world. Our goal is to strengthen these abilities and encourage a desire and enthusiasm for learning new things. We hope that visiting our website will help you get a sense of the school's culture, daily operations, and the welcoming environment you may expect to find there. The school is situated on excellent grounds that we constantly endeavour to develop, creating lovely spaces for children to play and adults to work both inside and outside. Why not drop by and see for yourself how welcoming and approachable we are?
