At Summerfield Primary School, we believe that every child can succeed . Through high-quality teaching and learning, underpinned by a caring and inclusive ethos , we aim to nurture not only academic achievement but also emotional well-being. Our core values Respect, Care, and Potential are at the heart of everything we do.
They guide our relationships, shape our curriculum, and inspire our children to become confident, compassionate, and capable individuals. Our philosophy and aims are the foundation of all we strive to achieve for the children of Summerfield ensuring they leave us not only with knowledge, but with kindness, resilience, and a love of learning.
Summerfield Primary School has a proud history dating back to the early 1950s, when it first opened as Intake First School affectionately known as Little Intake . From just three classes, we ve grown into a thriving one-form entry primary school with eight classes, including a vibrant Nursery.
