"Fantastic school with a wonderful atmosphere"

My son has been at Newsham Primary for 4 years now, and I couldn't be happier with the school. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, and the values of being Respectful, Responsible and Ready are drilled into the children from day one. The facilities are also excellent, with a great library and sports hall.

"Great school, great staff"

My daughter attended Newsham Primary for 7 years and thrived. The staff were always so supportive and helpful, and the school's focus on the Newsham Way really helped to develop her into a confident and kind young person. I was also impressed with the school's outreach work and commitment to the local community.

Fantastic team of staff, brilliant with all children who attend the school and those who don't. Teachers are knowledgeable and supportive to parents and carers all the time.

"A good school with some areas for improvement"

My daughter is in Year 2 at Newsham Primary and is generally happy with the school. However, I do feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on. I've also been a bit disappointed with the school's breakfast club, which can be a bit chaotic at times.
