Thank you for your interest in Summerhill Primary Academy.  For those parents who have children joining us for the first time, we welcome you and look forward to a happy and successful association throughout your child’s time at Summerhill.  We are also pleased to continue in partnership with those parents who already have a child or children with us.

I have been lucky enough to be involved with Summerhill Primary Academy as Headteacher for ten years.  It is a real privilege to work with such talented pupils and committed staff on a day to day basis.  In our last Ofsted inspection in February 2015 we achieved a good grading with many outstanding grades and our aim now is to become an overall outstanding school within our community.

Summerhill Primary is a 4-form entry primary school which caters for pupils from 3 to 11 years old. Within each class the children work in both ability and mixed-ability groups ensuring all children are supported and challenged at a level which is appropriate for their ability.

As a school, we are committed to creating a happy and vibrant community, where everyone feels valued, where students are stretched and supported academically and are given memorable experiences that excite them about learning for life.

We aim to build a strong relationship between home and school where trust, understanding and support form the basis of a shared responsibility for preparing children to be successful citizens in an ever-changing society. We have the highest expectations of all students in every area of the school life and our uniform and behaviour policy are strongly supported by governors, students, parents and staff and helps support our team ethos at Summerhill.

We welcome and encourage parents to play a full part in their child’s education and school life and you will find many opportunities to join us to talk about and to take part in your child’s journey through our school.

We hope you will find our website useful in helping make the time spent at Summerhill enjoyable and rewarding.
