Northgate Primary School is set in extensive grounds which, along with its location close to the town centre offer many learning opportunities outside of the classroom. Our beautiful grounds have an allotment, sensory garden, Forest School area and two ponds.

The learning areas in our school really enhance the curriculum we can offer including: a fully equipped ICT suite, cookery room, music room, two libraries and two halls.

Our creative learning environment supports learners to develop the vital skills needed for a successful future. I am privileged to have joined a team of committed, enthusiastic and passionate staff, children, governors, parents and members of the local community.  Together we are responsible for growing the future leaders of the 21st century. 

We value every child individually, encouraging them to develop a deep curiosity for the wonder of learning.  A great emphasis is placed on creating imaginative opportunities for children to discover their own strengths and talents, across a breadth of experiences. This is when children flourish and make excellent progress, and most importantly, love to learn.

At Northgate, we believe that children growing up in an ever changing diverse society, need to develop skills to prepare them for an unknown future. Being resilient learners, who are determined to succeed, allows everyone to thrive and be happy in all they do.  Having self-belief, that anything can be achieved, really is possible at Northgate Primary School.

Our core values are at the heart of everything we do. 

Respect, Curiosity, Resilience and Ambition.

Everyone learns how to become confident, caring, independent, reflective, respectful and resourceful learners.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child, so you can start your exciting learning journey with us.
