Welcome to Preston Primary School and Nursery — a place where every child is cared for, celebrated and supported to flourish. We are delighted that you are part of our school community. At Preston Primary, we believe in more than just educating children: we believe in nurturing them. You will find a warm, inclusive environment where all children are welcomed and valued.
Our vision and values reflect this deeply: we aim to support every child to reach their potential, whatever their ability. We pride ourselves on working in genuine partnership with you — our families, carers and the wider community — because we know that when we work together, we build the best possible future for our children.
Our school is open and inviting: you as parents are encouraged to work alongside us as professionals so that together we make Preston a happy and successful place for your child to thrive. At the heart of everything we do are the five "golden threads" that run through our school: Family, Child-Centred, Responsibility, Partnership and Lifelong Learners.
These threads shape our culture, our curriculum and how we live our school-life together.
