Background to Northmead
Welcome to
Choosing a junior school for your child is vital. We hope that this website will help you with your decision by setting out the educational opportunities and wide variety of extra-curricular activities that we can offer.
This website is only an introduction to Northmead and I hope that reading this will convey something of the warm, friendly and exciting atmosphere that we share.
I would be delighted for you to make an appointment to come and meet us and look around our school.
At Northmead, every child is valued as a unique individual. We adhere to the principle that “Every Child Matters” irrespective of ability, disability, social background, ethnicity or gender and that all children have the right to enjoy and achieve to the best of their ability in a safe, happy and secure environment.
We believe in the importance of building up close relationships with the children based on mutual understanding and respect. Visitors to the school frequently comment on the friendly, calm atmosphere created by the children and staff. A strong partnership with parents supports and encourages each child to reach their potential. All families are asked to sign a ‘Home School Agreement’ when they start school at Northmead which enables the school to work in close partnership with parents.
We appreciate parents’ involvement in school activities, sharing children’s success and progress.
