Children at New Horizons Seaside Primary are always more than just a name and number. All our staff take great pride in the way we get to know all our children and we are proud of how polite, well-mannered and hardworking they are throughout the school day. They are also a credit to us and to you when out on day visits or on our residential trips.
Children at New Horizons Seaside Primary make fantastic progress be it academic, personal or social. Our children love coming to school just watch them racing in through the gate each morning!
We are a highly inclusive school, passionate about turning our ethos into an everyday reality: We focus on all children and have excellent and robust provision in place for those children with a whole range of SEND and those who are from disadvantaged backgrounds.
