It gives me great pleasure on behalf of the staff, pupils and governors to welcome you to our wonderful school. We are a warm and welcoming one-form entry primary school, located on the picturesque Shoreham Beach. Everyone feels safe, included and valued. Kindness, restorative practice and strong relationships underpin everything we do.
At Shoreham Beach Primary, there is a passion and love for learning. Everyone is committed to high expectations and aspirations. Our curriculum is bespoke and ambitious for all. We want every learner to be a critical thinker and greater depth at something. Everybody succeeds, everybody matters. No one gets left behind. Having high expectations isn't a skill, it is an attitude.
