Happy - Curious - Resilient - Kind

 

A very warm welcome to the East Sheen Primary School website. I hope that it gives you a glimpse of life at our wonderful school. We are a fun, exciting and aspirational school, where we believe every child deserves to thrive. We ensure that children love learning, feel happy and safe at school, and are given the support and opportunities to succeed. Our consistently high academic outcomes, sporting results and ever expanding extra-curricular offer demonstrate our commitment to developing happy, confident and high-achieving pupils, encouraged and allowed to explore their passions and interests.

 

As an accredited Thinking School, in addition to delivering the content of the National Curriculum, we put the explicit teaching of thinking as a high priority. We believe that children are best prepared for the future if they can learn important thinking skills, such as problem-solving, listening with empathy, and working in collaboration. In addition to teaching thinking, we also teach children about mindfulness and wellbeing, understanding that children are able to do their best at school when they are supported to feel safe, happy and nurtured.

 

We are an Ofsted 'Outstanding' three-form entry community school in The London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames, with an excellent reputation for providing fun and happiness, combined with high standards of education, going back many, many years. The children, staff and parents consistently move the school forward in an exciting and enriching way; we never stand still!

 

Last year, we won the Eco Schools Green Flag award, passing with distinction. This recognised our exciting green curriculum, helping to educate all our children about environmental issues in a solution-focused way.  Our aim is to provide a well-rounded, broad, exciting education for all our children, and we welcome children from a diverse range of backgrounds and learning needs, proud to call ourselves a truly inclusive school.

Working in partnership with our PTA,  we have installed an exciting climbing frame, trim trail and outdoor learning spaces. Our PTA is exceptionally active and has raised substantial funds over the years to help with these and many other improvements, as well as building a real community of families in school. 

 

This school is a great example of children, parents, staff and governors working as a powerful team. Our children, their wellbeing and their learning are central to everything we do. We are confident your family will enjoy being part of it.
