Welcome to The Shade Primary School

We are delighted to welcome you to The Shade Primary School, a community school where we pride ourselves on being inclusive with a tight-knit, family feel. 

Our culture of high expectations extends beyond the classroom and incorporates the development of our '5Rs' - respect, responsibility, resilience, reflectiveness and ready to learn. We support children to develop strong learning attitudes and a love for learning to enable them to make a difference within the school community, and wider community now and in the future. 

As part of this, we encourage characteristics such as gratitude, politeness and empathy for one another. We are committed to a therapeutic approach to education and help children develop personal and social skills that will enable them to become valued and responsible members of the school and local communities. Strong relationships, familiar routines and secure boundaries underpin everything we do so that our children feel happy, safe and have a sense of belonging.  

I am very proud to be part of this vibrant, happy and caring school where children are firmly at the heart of everything we do. Our school is a wonderful place to learn, play and work. We are an open and friendly school, in which parents are welcome and valued as partners in children’s learning.  

You are very welcome to visit us where we are sure you will get a feel for our school and the high quality education that we offer.  Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Kind regards
Jane Segust
Headteacher
