South Park began as two separate schools, the infant and the junior school, and was amalgamated to form our large school, currently standing at 684 pupils. South Park Primary School is a caring, nurturing and supportive community within which every pupil should feel they have value and can learn to value others.
We have good links with our main feeder secondary schools and are looking forward to strengthening the work we do with their older students. We run a range of after school clubs, which result in many of the children also competing in inter-school competitions. These include computing, football, netball, chess, cookery, arts and crafts, drama and street dance.
Our choir is well attended and every two years the children attend the Royal Albert Hall Choral Festival, a fantastic event involving many schools from the local area. South Park Primary has a very strong community feel, many staff, governors and volunteers at the school were either pupils or have had links with the school since their own children attended.
