I am very proud to be the Head of Newlands Spring Primary & Nursery School and am delighted to welcome you to our website where I hope you can begin to get a sense of what a special place our school is.

We believe that every child should have a chance to shine and deliberately plan a range of activities so that there is something for everyone.  Of course we have high academic aspirations, but equally we want our children to have opportunities to be curious and experience real, meaningful hands-on learning.  We aim to prepare our children to be successful young people, so that when they leave us, they have the knowledge and skills necessary for the future. We prioritise collaboration and open communication, encouraging children to engage with one another and form friendships that enhance their social and emotional growth. We want every child to be empowered to reach their full potential.

We recognise that strong relationships between school and home are vital in nurturing a positive learning environment.  Our dedicated staff team is committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where children can express themselves, explore their interests, and develop a lifelong love of learning.  We pride ourselves on understanding the children as individuals and celebrate diversity, understanding that each child contributes unique strengths and perspectives to our community. Our relational approach lies at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that every child feels valued, supported and connected. 

We have a fantastic, supportive parents association “FONS” (Friends of Newlands Spring) who last year raised over £20,000 which has been used to enhance the facilities and resources for all.
