A very warm welcome to Park Road Academy Primary School. I feel privileged to lead such a vibrant school where children are enthusiastic and motivated to achieve endless possibilities. I have had the pleasure to be apart of the Senior Leadership Team for thirteen years; whereby nine of those have been in the role as Headteacher.
Within this time, I have witnessed the school grow from strength to strength with our reputation well-known in the borough and beyond. The children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are happy, confident and that the opportunities that are provided to them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future.
We believe that children should be curious about their learning. Through our engaging curriculum, we ensure that children can foster a passion for learning that will help to develop high aspirations.
We believe in ensuring that children receive a well-rounded curriculum; where individual talents can be spotted and nurtured to ensure that all children experience success and reach their full potential. Calendar Dates 14 Feb Half Term All Day
