Neston Primary School has a wonderful history of serving the local community since 1906. Our small classes mean that children receive personalised support with their learning whilst our engaging curriculum provides stimulating and interesting opportunities for them to become curious motivated learners.
We are extremely fortunate to have wonderful learning environments that enhance the curriculum further. Our children are central to everything we do and their achievements both in and beyond school are celebrated. I am extremely proud to be headteacher at Neston Primary School and look forward to welcoming you to our school.
We are extremely proud of every child in our school and of their achievements both in and beyond the classroom. Our school values of Strive for Excellence, Take Pride, Respect All, Show Resilience and Be Kind are a golden thread which weaves through everyone and everything we do on a daily basis.
