It is my absolute privilege to welcome you to Park Mead School’s website. I hope you find it informative, easily accessible and that it may evoke curiosity about the education, philosophy and life at Park Mead School.

Our first and most important aim is to help pupils settle happily into Park Mead so that they feel confident and enthusiastic about coming to school each day. Our school works as a team in which parents, pupils, staff and Governors are all involved in the education of our children and we invite you to work alongside us and be part of your child’s school life and our school family.

We aim for all children to be happy, confident, risk takers who fulfil their potential. We provide a nurturing environment where we value each child and promote positive attitudes and lifelong learning to help children grow into independent, respectful and creative adults with their own unique gifts and talents.

To appreciate fully the way we work I strongly recommend that you pay us a visit. Come and speak with me, meet the teachers, see the children in their happy, vibrant and purposeful learning environment and discover Park Mead for yourselves.

Best wishes
