Our Parkside Academy Ethos and Values

“Together we nurture, together we grow, together we inspire.”

Our Vision
At  Parkside Academy, we are committed to providing every child with the best possible start to their educational journey. We nurture a warm, inclusive environment where families are valued partners in learning, and every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to thrive.

We are dedicated to nurturing each child’s wellbeing, developing their skills and confidence, and inspiring a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. Through rich opportunities and experiences—both inside and outside the classroom—we empower our pupils to discover their strengths, build lasting relationships, and grow in confidence.

Our broad curriculum includes exciting sporting opportunities and personal development, ensuring every child enjoys a healthy, active, and fulfilling school life.

Together, we foster a caring community where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to aim high—laying strong foundations for a bright and successful future.

We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.  We ensure that partisan political views are not promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school and where political issues are brought to the attention of the pupils, reasonably practicable steps are taken to offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils.
