At North Primary School and Nursery we aim to create a learning community, which nurtures the academic, creative, moral and spiritual potential of all our children. We provide an exciting, stimulating and well-ordered environment where all children and adults can embark on a learning journey together.
Relationships and routines are established that build trust, confidence and self-esteem. Individuality and difference are recognised and celebrated and guaranteed by developing an understanding in all children of every person's responsibility in safeguarding everyone's rights. This is how we give every child the opportunity to become confident, inquisitive and active learners, whatever their strengths and weaknesses.

Founded in 1894 North Primary School and Nursery has changed and improved with successive generations. The school completed a building programme in 2012 which has added four new classrooms, a Community Room and an all-weather playing field to increase the size of our school. This provides a great foundation for the next chapter in our history.
We are committed to working with parents to ensure every child can succeed. The more parents know about school, the more they can support their child at home. The more the school understands each child, the better we can meet their needs. This is our partnership. The Home Learning Policy is a useful guide for parents.
At North every child has the opportunity to learn a musical instrument free of charge during the school day. In the infants children learn rhythm and how to play in a group. In the juniors they have opportunities to learn at least 3 musical instruments. Children's success is celebrated in a season of summer concerts.
We are the Parent Teacher Association for North Primary School and Nursery and a registered charity. It's our job to organise fun events and raise money for projects that would otherwise not be funded. The money we raise means that all children in the school get the chance to play a musical instrument and go on exciting educational trips.

I went to this school from year 7 to year 11 where i left in 2018, it was absolutely dreadful, fights were daily, bullying is a massive issue that's ignored and teachers are only there to get paid, not to teach, the teachers they hire, not all of them though, are awful and do not care about the childs education and dont care about the mental health of a child, which i've experienced first hand when i was told to "cheer up" when expressing feelings of discomfort and distress about being bullied and threatened to be poked..dont send your kid there if you want a good education for them

My eldest has just finished A Levels at this school after being here since Year 7. She had so many inspirational teachers and flourished in this learning environment. A big plus was the school farm which had such an impact on her. She's now heading off to University with great A Level grades. My youngest is also here and staff have always been incredibly helpful and intuitive. The staff are genuinely interested in pupil well being and want them to achieve to their full capacity. The Head Teacher is involved in all aspects of the school and takes great pride in all students' achievements be they

Been a teacher at this school for 10 years. In that time the school has improved hugely from being poorly run and an unpleasant place to teach. Now the school is well managed, behavioural expectations are high and the majority of classes and students are well focused on their work. It's a nice atmosphere for teachers to teach in and for students to be in and learn in.

This school is sexest. Boys have to suffer in extreme heat and can only wear trousers. where as girls are allowed to wear skirts. Also both boys and girls have to wear there blazer whilst walking around the school. The teachers are so mean to students. they are too strict. I would advise you to not sent your children here as there is loads of fights that aren't dealt with properly and they wouldn't care if your child got bullied.

As a current student i happily inform you that this school has greatly improved, i have been here since year 7, when mrs ellis was around, to now year 11 when it has made a change for the better. The teachers are overall pretty great, if youre a good student then they treat you with respect. As a student about to go into this schools sixth form i shall say they have an amazing support system. As ive been here from ellis to now i can see the improvements. Granted there is still room for improvement, but it is wholly a good learning environment.

The North School is an amazing place, i have 2 children there and they are both doing fantastic. They are both high achieving in both academics and sports. I cannot recommend the school enough, they are making huge steps in the right direction.
I have only given 4 stars because no school is perfect!

As a current student of the school if you have a child and your'e in the process of looking for a school do not choose this one unless its your only choice. I would strongly advise anyone who is looking at this school to look at the Ofsted report, it may be three years old but things haven't changed much and there is a lot of room for improvement, from the strict uniform policies to how students (and some teachers) behave.
If you have a child with special needs only send them here as a last resort the unit attached to this school isn't very good, the head of the unit seems to be very under trained
