Welcome

Welcome to Southwold Primary

Southwold Primary School and Nursery is one which believes in the unlimited potential of every pupil, where every child can be successful and achieve. 

Every member of our school community is encouraged to aim to be the best version of themselves, all of the time, and to strive to achieve the best that they can. This ethos is underpinned by our ACHIEVE values: Ambition, Collaboration, Honesty, Inclusivity, Environmental care, Valiance and Excellence. Our core values enable our pupils to grow into responsible, independent and considerate citizens, who are ready for the next steps on their educational journey, and into the wider world beyond.

A - We are ambitious and want to succeed;
C - We work together as a team through collaboration;
H - We act with honesty;
I - We are inclusive, appreciate differences and make everyone feel welcome in school;
E – We care for our environment;
V – We show valiance and courage when faced with a challenge;
E – We aim for excellence in all that we do.

At Southwold Primary School and Nursery, we pride ourselves on high-quality teaching and learning and our talented and caring staff are driven to provide quality educational experiences and opportunities for all of our pupils through a broad and ambitious curriculum offer. Staff and families collaborate well to support children's learning and we hope that you will find lines of communication, both formal and informal, open and regular.  

In addition to academic achievement, we are committed to providing a range of opportunities for children to develop other aspects of their personality. We have a spacious and well-resourced outdoor environment and extend our learning through a programme of extra-curricular activities and educational visits, including residential visits for Key Stage Two.

We are a proud member of The White Horse Federation and work in close partnership with Gagle Brook Primary School and Nursery.

I would very much welcome anyone interested in joining the Southwold Primary School community to contact or visit the school office to arrange a visit and it would be our pleasure to show you around. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy exploring our website and finding out more about the many wonderful things that have been going on in our school.

As the Headteacher of Southwold Primary School and Nursery, I would like to extend a warm welcome and very much look forward to meeting you.
