From the Old Palace Primary School
Thank you for visiting our school website, which we hope will be useful and offer you a sense of our goals and accomplishments. Everything we do at Old Palace is geared at ensuring that the kids enjoy school, love to study, and develop into the best versions of themselves. We recognise that each child has particular talents, skills, and learning preferences, and we constantly work to support each child in acquiring the learning abilities they will require to succeed in adulthood. As a result, we recognise the need of strong collaborations with parents to ensure that learning continues outside of the classroom and have put a number of initiatives in place to assist parents in raising their children. In addition to helping our pupils achieve academically, we also wish to create healthy and active citizens, who care for and respect each other, who make wise behaviour choices and who challenge discrimination in all its forms. The school is dedicated to offering a wide-ranging and well-balanced curriculum, enhanced by frequent educational outings and fruitful relationships with our local community and corporate partners. The importance of emotional and physical well being is taught through our fitness, sports and PHSE programmes and we have invested heavily in the use of new technology to make certain that our pupils have access to this, especially as it may not always be available to them at home. This, along with the expertise and commitment of our team, enables Old Palace to keep giving its students the finest possible start in their education. Please take some time to browse this website and to view the kids' projects in our learning area. We hope you will enjoy celebrating our students' learning with us since we are proud of their accomplishments.
