iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).A warm welcome from Bankside Primary School! My name is Vicky Broughton and I am the headteacher of this wonderful school. Bankside Primary School is a warm and welcoming school that prides itself on being at the heart of the community we serve.
Our inclusive ethos is based on developing positive relationships with all of our families in order to help all our pupils feel safe, happy and flourish whilst at school. Our relationships with families start through our Two Year Old Provision and Nursery.
As a school we are proud of the way we work with families and enable them, through the Early Years and beyond, to give their children the best possible start to their educational journey. At Bankside we have high expectations for everyone.
Pupils, staff and the wider community focus on giving their Bankside Best so that we can all be successful and proud of our Bankside school community.
