As Principal, I would like to welcome you to our school. I hope that you will feel North Mead Primary Academy is the school you wish to choose for your child. We wish our children to have special and happy memories of their time at North Mead and value highly the positive relationships we have built between children, parents, staff, governors and our neighbouring communities.
Children get one chance with their education and at North Mead we want this to be the best. Through the development of positive learning behaviours (Team Tactics) we hope that all children leave our school with the skills necessary for successful lifelong learning. A book rich curriculum teamed with creative opportunities are a core element of what we provide.
We also offer a breakfast club every morning and offer after school activities most evenings. Learning is celebrated and openly admired and we strive to work and learn together with parents and carers.
