About

Dear Parents, Carers and visitors to our school, Coquet Park First School is a happy, one form entry coastal school that welcomes children from 3 to 9 years old. We aim to promote a safe and secure environment in which children learn to be members of a caring community.

We believe that children are able to achieve their full potential in a happy and supportive environment, whilst enjoying their time in school. I am privileged to work with enthusiastic, caring and hard working pupils supported by a dedicated, talented staff and a skilled Governing Body.

As a whole school community, we work closely in partnership with parents and other family members to make every day a valuable and memorable learning experience for all pupils. Through this, we aim to encourage every child to become confident, caring individuals with a love of learning and lifelong skills to flourish in future years.

Myself and the senior leadership team work closely together to ensure that high standards in teaching, learning and communication are constantly maintained. We strive to address any issues swiftly and effectively whilst working on future key initiatives that move us forward.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
