Dear Parents,

On behalf of the Governing Body of the school I would like to sincerely welcome you to Newlaithes Junior School and introduce our website to you.

Our school has built up a strong reputation for high standards and excellence. The school itself opened in 1963 and since then has continually developed to stay relevant to current education standards.   We are very fortunate to have large, well-equipped classrooms, a dedicated computer suite and an extensive outdoor space with a wide range of play and learning apparatus.  All of these add to the interesting and purposeful learning experiences which our headteacher, Mr Richard Clark, and experienced, caring staff provide both in school, the local community and on educational visits and trips.

In our last inspection, the school was identified as having many strengths including successfully engaging pupils in their tasks to help develop a positive attitude to learning; enabling pupils with SEND to achieve well and having staff with a secure knowledge of what pupils need to progress and develop.

The Governing Body works enthusiastically with the headteacher, staff and parents to continue the successful development of our school.  We are all dedicated to ensuring your child has an excellent education as well as feeling secure and happy at Newlaithes Junior School.
