Welcome to our school website. I am very proud to be able to share with you the wonderful opportunities and developments at Thameside Primary School and Nursery! Thameside Primary School and Nursery is a vibrant and diverse school where children are enthusiastic and motivated to achieve endless possibilities.
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 for them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future. At Thameside, 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 and a lifetime of memories. 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.
As a school we are guided by the Co-operative values (self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity) as we believe that clear practice and understanding of them develop characteristics for effective learning and life.
