Welcome to Newbury Park Primary School

Dear Families,

On behalf of the staff and governors, it is a pleasure to welcome you and your child to Newbury Park Primary School.

Our vision, encapsulated in our motto, “Learning for life, achieving together,” is at the heart of everything we do. Our values of compassion, creativity, courage, and curiosity guide us in creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported.

At Newbury Park, we prioritize meeting the needs of the whole child and fostering a ‘can-do’ approach to learning. We are dedicated to equipping children with the skills and confidence they need to thrive in today’s world and contribute positively to society.

We believe in putting learning first, ensuring that our pupils can achieve their full potential in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment. High standards, respect, and considerate behavior are the foundation of our school ethos, enabling us to build a strong sense of community.

Education is for everyone. Our curriculum is designed to offer enriched, purposeful learning experiences that engage and challenge pupils, preparing them to become confident communicators, creative thinkers, and effective problem solvers. We celebrate the achievements of all children through school events, community gatherings, and personal milestones throughout the year.

The home-school partnership is central to our approach, and we value the thoughts and feedback of all our families. If you have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher or refer to our communication guidelines.

Together, we strive to ensure your child thrives and enjoys their journey with us at Newbury Park.
