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.

Where Everyone Can Be a Hero (or a Princess!) ✨🌟 Dressing up is one of the most important ways we learn to play, and play to learn. When we wear costumes, we aren’t just having fun; we are building. ✨Empathy & Kindness: Practicing what it feels like to be someone else. ✨Super Speech: Telling stories and building amazing vocabulary. ✨Confidence & Cooperation: Working together to run a café or rule a kingdom! Dressing up is the magic wand that turns ordinary moments into extraordinary adventures. 🌈

Red Nose Day is today! We're joining thousands of people across the nation to come together, have fun, and raise money to help make a real difference in people's lives here in the UK and around the world. Your donation could support incredible projects which help children to be happier, families stronger, women safer, communities prouder, and millions of lives fairer. Please give today, if you can. Don't forget to tick the Gift Aid option, if you can, so Comic Relief can claim an extra 25% from the government. From us and everyone at Comic Relief, thank you! https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rnd26-northdown-primary-school?utm_medium=FA&utm_source=CL

On Monday the children in Reception showed our school value of Curiosity in action. 🔎 The children have been reading 'The Magic Porridge Pot' and wanted to see if they could make an explosion similar to when the porridge pot overflows in the story. 🤔 To create the explosion, we poured vinegar on top of bicarbonate of soda. The children loved watching the vinegar foam and fizz over the top of the tube!

Natalie and Benjy from @everydayracism_ joined our year 5 and year 6 ACE children to deliver their anti racism workshop. The children discussed the importance of equality, kindness and the origins of race. The workshop covered how race did not actually exist, but was created to establish power and wealth, and influence hierarchies within society. Everyday Racism delivered an impactful lesson that had our children thoroughly engaged. #tkatace #onetkatfamily #everydayracism

Don’t Forget Your Kit! Because we play out in all weathers, please make sure your child has their OPAL kit in school EVERY DAY: ✅ Wellies (or sturdy outdoor shoes) ✅ Waterproof Rain Suit (or over-trousers) ✅ Warm Coat ✅ Spare Socks (a lifesaver for puddle jumpers!) ⚠️ Top Tip: Please make sure everything is clearly labelled with your child's name!
