Welcome to our school and thank you for taking the time to look at what we offer here for our children and community. If myself or any of our school team can help in any way, then please don't hesitate to contact us. King Edward Primary School is a thriving and busy primary school which offers a fantastic education to children from age three up to age eleven.
Children come to us from the local area and from a wide range of diverse backgrounds and experiences. We are at the heart of our community. This is something which we are very proud of. The needs of our families and community influence many of our decisions.
The opening of our KEEP (King Edwards Extended Provision), enabled us to provide full time EYFS provision for our eligible three and four year olds. We also have a thriving Out of School Club (OOSC), which is open 51 weeks a year, providing before school, after school and holiday club.
This means that along with a wide range of after school clubs, we offer a full and thriving range of support and opportuities to children and families all year round from 7.30am - 5.30pm.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
