Welcome to Northdown Primary School

At Northdown Primary School we recognise the individual pathways children will travel to discover who they are and who they want to be in the future. It is our responsibility and privilege to facilitate this exciting journey.

Attendance

At Northdown Primary School we expect good attendance and punctuality.

Good Attendance gives children every opportunity to influence their future quality of life and reach their full potential.

This week the Reception children demonstrated our school values of curiosity and harmony when they worked together in the mud kitchen to make potions! They collected the water themselves and used the funnels to pour it carefully into the bottles. They then used the pippets to squeeze different colours into their potions! #TKAT #attendancematters

The Reception children have loved exploring the story of The Gingerbread Man this term! They have learnt the story and had lots of practise at telling it to each other. They have continued to think about the story within the environment, where they have made playdough gingerbread men, re-told the story with puppets and made key characters using construction materials! #TKAT #attendancematters

We need your help! 📣Do you have any preloved backpacks lurking in cupboards at home that are no longer needed? 👉We would be grateful if you could consider donating these to our Nest provision. Some of our children like the sensory input of carrying weighted items whilst at school and backpacks are perfect for this. 📍Please bring any donations in to the main reception and we will make sure they find a loving home. Thank you 😊
