From the Neston Primary School
I hope you enjoy exploring our website and learning everything there is to know about our fantastic school and our fantastic students. You may find the results of our most recent yearly parent/carer surveys at the bottom of this page (Summer 2019). We take great pride in our reputation as a busy, pleasant, and caring school. Our goal is to make a child's experience with us enjoyable and enlightening. Our staff is a committed group that goes above and beyond to help kids realise their greatest potential. High-quality instruction and learning are prioritised at Neston Primary School in a fun and engaging setting. The foundation of all we do is teamwork. Our school wouldn't be the wonderful place it is now without this teamwork. Teachers, teaching assistants, governors, parents, office staff, a caretaker, cleaners, mid-day helpers, kitchen staff, and most importantly, our students, make up our team. We host a variety of "after-school" clubs all year long, some of which meet before and throughout the school day. Our instructors, teaching assistants, and support staff organise many of these. Children are encouraged to cooperate with one another and form connections with other members of the community; in fact, we frequently invite visitors and guests who enrich the lessons and education of the kids. We promote collaboration and partnership because we believe that when parents and staff work together for the benefit of the kids, the kids may attain their full potential. We are forward to welcome you to Neston Primary School and to meet you.
