From the Preston Primary School
Please accept my sincere welcome to the school's website. Being in charge of Preston during a time of consistent school development and motivating teamwork makes me feel immensely pleased. I have seen a group of experts create an engaging curriculum for all kids that produces excellent results and much more. We value the work we do together on school values because, in addition to academic success, we want to support every student's development into an upright citizenry. We have kept the school team on task by using our vision. Our high standards and unrelenting effort to enhance schools for all have contributed to Preston's transformation over the past few years. The information on a website is limited, so if you are interested in visiting, get in touch with us to arrange a tour with one of our House Captains. Eden Park Primary School, Preston Primary School, and Cockington Primary School are currently part of the Multi Academy Trust known as Coast Academies. The schools collaborate to attempt and provide a better education for more students by pooling their knowledge, realising cost savings through economies of scale, and making sure that every school is secure, well-resourced, and maintained.
