I am proud and immensely privileged to be the Headteacher of our dynamic and vibrant school. Collingwood Primary is a very special place, where we work in partnership with the pupils and families within our community.
We recognise the importance of teamwork and family support and create a family atmosphere where everyone is valued, cared about and respected, whilst ensuring we have high standards and expectations in both behaviour and work.
The pupils at Collingwood are at the heart of everything we do, and we pride ourselves on offering a warm, nurturing and inclusive school where all children have a voice and can achieve. Our inclusive curriculum develops pupil interest and curiosity, promoting a love of learning and encouraging our children to aim high and succeed in school and beyond.
We offer our children experiences that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Oswin Terrace, North Shields Tyne & Wear, NE29 7JQ
