A Warm Welcome to Sunnymede Primary School

On behalf of the pupils, staff, parents and governors of Sunnymede Primary School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your child. We are delighted that you have chosen to join our learning community and are sure that your child will enjoy learning with us.

Your child’s safety, education and enjoyment of learning are our highest priority. We are well renowned for the care, guidance and support we offer all our pupils, regardless of their starting points, in order to help them meet their full potential and prepare them for secondary school. At Sunnymede, every child really does matter and we celebrate achievement at every opportunity, promoting a ‘growth mindset’ amongst our pupils. Needless to say, we have high expectations of all pupils, challenging and encouraging them to develop a range of skills and knowledge to help them flourish as responsible citizens and inquisitive, lifelong learners. 

To achieve this, we pride ourselves on offering children rich experiences as part of a broad, balanced, inclusive and creative curriculum, along with a stimulating learning environment. In addition to quality learning in core curriculum areas such as English, Mathematics and Science, we place great value on other aspects of learning. We place equal emphasis on their physical, emotional, social, creative, cultural and spiritual development.

At Sunnymede Primary School, we work as an effective team in which parents, children, staff, governors and the wider community, including volunteers, are all involved in providing the very best for the children. This was recognised during our OFSTED inspection in May 2018, when we were graded as a ‘good’ school. They said that our school “provides a happy and vibrant learning environment in which pupils feel safe, are well cared for and are encouraged to do their very best. Pupils behave extremely well, both in class and around school. They are respectful, courteous and supportive of the learning of others. By encouraging them to learn from their mistakes and take them as opportunities – ‘mistakes are normal, we learn from them’ – pupils understand the value of persevering.” The full report, of which we are very proud, is available on our school website.​

This prospectus is designed to give you some key information about school life and the wide range of opportunities that we offer.  We also have a wealth of up-to-date information on our school website. Please do contact us, however, if you have any further queries or if you have any suggestions to help us achieve the excellence for which we always strive.

We are proud of our school and look forward to working in partnership with you and your child.
