As part of the Rivers C of E Trust, we are proud to provide an Extraordinary Education for every child in our care. At Summerhill, children are at the heart of everything we do. We nurture their talents, champion their wellbeing and create an environment where every child feels happy, safe and inspired to learn.

Our experienced, dedicated and determined staff team hold consistently high expectations for all pupils — not only academically, but in every aspect of school life. We believe that with the right support, encouragement and challenge, every child can flourish.

A Happy, Vibrant Community

Summerhill is a thriving 4-form entry primary school for children aged 3–11. We are committed to building a joyful and inclusive community where everyone feels valued and respected. Our classrooms are places where children are both supported and stretched, working in ability and mixed-ability groups to ensure learning is tailored to meet individual needs.

We provide memorable experiences that spark curiosity and develop a lifelong love of learning. Our broad and ambitious curriculum, inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, prepares children to become thoughtful, active citizens in an ever-changing world. Teaching and learning are enriched through the use of technology, including 1:1 iPads, empowering pupils with the digital skills they need for the future.

We Shine as STARS ✨

At Summerhill, we shine by living our values every day:

• S – Sharing: We support one another by sharing ideas, resources, and kindness.

• T – Trust: We build strong relationships through honesty, responsibility, and reliability.

• A – Achievement: We strive to do our best and take pride in our learning and accomplishments.

• R – Respect: We treat everyone with fairness, care, and understanding.

• S – Safety: We create a secure and welcoming environment where everyone feels protected and valued.

These values underpin all that we do and guide our children to “Reach for the Stars” — raising aspirations while celebrating the unique strengths and achievements of every individual.

Summerhill Primary Academy is a lively, exciting place of learning with a growing reputation within the local and educational community. Our passionate staff are committed to raising standards and improving life chances, ensuring that every child leaves us confident, capable and ready for the next stage of their journey.
