From the Parklands Community Primary School
Every child has potential, and we at Parklands are proud of each and every one of them. Education transforms lives, and we hold all of our students to the highest standards. Our team puts a lot of effort into giving kids the chance to go beyond their own aspirations and have more self-confidence than they may have ever imagined. Through a wide curriculum that emphasises academic success, excellence in care and welfare, and making sure their gifts and accomplishments are recognised, we work to assure this. We want students to leave our school enthused about the opportunities that await them, as well as with the self-assurance and life skills necessary for success. Our goal is to develop dependable, resourceful, and inquisitive citizens. Our ethos upholds the core British ideals of democracy, the rule of law, personal freedom, and respect for those who have different ideas. Our three distinct school standards are: Ready, Respectful, and Safe because we want our kids to achieve their full potential. We offer a loving and secure atmosphere for your child, and safety comes first. The governing board, SENCo, and learning mentors at the school are all very helpful. I adore my job and am extremely happy to be the headteacher of Parklands Community Primary School.
