Newbold Church of England Primary School is a church school with close links to St. John the Evangelist situated on St. John's Road. We are committed to providing a stimulating, caring and Christian learning environment. We are very proud of our school, where everyone works together to make a real difference to children and families in our school community.
As head teacher, I feel our school is very special and it is a delight to see children grow and develop as individuals in a caring and challenging learning environment. We have lots of fun at Newbold Church of England Primary School, but also recognise the important role we have in establishing attitudes and skills that will take our children into their future life.
We invest in excellence by encouraging the children to believe in themselves. Positive language is used at all times and this ensures that all the children in our care learn to respect themselves, care for others and for their environment.
We hope this website gives you some understanding of the values and aims of our school and will provide you with some information about the 'essence' of Newbold Church of England Primary School.
