Welcome to Parkside Academy

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Parkside Academy—a vibrant, nurturing school community where children are at the heart of everything we do.

Our vision, “Together we nurture, together we grow, together we inspire,” reflects our unwavering commitment to every child’s personal and academic development. At Parkside, we believe that education is a journey best taken together, and we are proud to partner with families to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment for our pupils.

We are passionate about nurturing wellbeing, developing confidence and character, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning. Our broad and enriching curriculum offers exciting opportunities both in and beyond the classroom—from sports and creative arts to personal development—ensuring every child discovers their passions and reaches their full potential.

Central to our ethos are the values of resilience, determination, kindness, trust, teamwork, and respect. These guide everything we do and help our pupils grow not only as learners, but as compassionate and responsible individuals. We encourage our children to persevere through challenges, support one another, celebrate diversity, and show empathy and integrity in all areas of life.

We take pride in being a school where every child is known and valued. Our strong sense of community, high expectations, and culture of mutual respect lay the foundation for pupils to thrive—not just in school, but in life.

As Headteacher, I am proud of our dedicated staff team and the positive, purposeful culture we’ve built together. Whether you are a prospective parent, a current member of our community, or simply interested in learning more about Parkside Academy, I warmly invite you to explore our website and discover what makes our school such a special place to learn and grow.
