From the Southmead Primary School
In Southfields, South West London, near to Wimbledon Tennis and the gorgeous Wimbledon Park, there is a two form entrance primary school called Southmead for kids between the ages of 3 and 11.
We also have a 16-seat ASD Base and an integrated children's centre for kids ages 0 to 5 and their families.
At Southmead, we are acutely conscious of our obligation to make sure that your kids enjoy attending school.
At Southmead, our top priority is ensuring that your kid reaches their full potential in terms of their intellectual, artistic, interpersonal, physical, moral, and spiritual growth.
We want our students to graduate from our school as self-assured, successful young adults who are eager to move on to the next phase of their academic careers.
The Southmead 5 Rs, which stand for responsibility, resilience, rationality, resourcefulness, and reflectiveness, serve as the foundation for everything we do.
We urge parents to be actively involved in their child's educational life because we firmly think that parent-teacher partnerships are essential to a child's success.
We welcome visitors to the school, so if you would like to schedule a visit to learn more about what makes Southmead unique, contact Jan Dixon in the school office.
