From the Northfields Infants and Nursery School
I'd like to extend a sincere welcome to our school website on behalf of the entire staff, governors, and students. The site aims to provide much of the information you might need, whether you have a child at our school or are looking at potential schools for the future. However, visits to our school and meeting the staff members who actually work with the children will provide the most in-depth understanding of what we do. Being the head teacher at Northfields, a school that is highly respected in the neighbourhood and beyond, makes me feel incredibly proud. All of our children will receive the finest possible start to learning from the people working here. In addition to ensuring that both indoor and outdoor environments offer safe stimulation to nourish and advance learning, we accomplish this through a unique, dynamic curriculum. Of course, by having fun as well. Our school strives to collaborate with parents, and we are very appreciative of the help provided to the kids as well as the school. Together, we work to provide the best learning opportunities for our kids and to get them started on the path to being self-sufficient, lifelong learners.
