Welcome to Goddard Park Primary School – ‘Everybody Learns, Everybody Cares’.

I am proud to have a quality staff team who have enabled the highest attainment of thousands of young people over the course of the 26 years that I have been Headteacher at Goddard Park. I look forward to this team bringing many more children through the innovative and exciting experiences at the School in their educational journey.

We work extremely hard within our diverse local community and always aim to provide only excellent standards of education for children of any background or ability.
