Welcome to North Petherton Primary School

 

Dear Parents, Carers, and Visitors,

 

Thank you for visiting our school website. It is my absolute pleasure to warmly welcome you to North Petherton Community Primary School as the New Headteacher 2025. Our school is a vibrant, inclusive, and nurturing community where children are at the heart of everything we do.

 

We are committed to fostering a love of learning, ensuring that every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to achieve their very best in all that they do.

 

At NPCPS, we believe that education is about much more than academic success. It is about developing well-rounded individuals who are confident, resilient, and prepared for the future. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to provide a rich and varied curriculum that ignites curiosity and creativity, while also instilling the core values of respect, responsibility, and kindness.

 

As a Headteacher I am keen to ensure children are happy, safe and ready to learn. The enjoyment of learning and the excitement to participate in new things develops academic, social and emotional skills. These skills will build them up to be respectful, kind and hard-working young people and adults. Education is the key to opening doors to a wide world of opportunity and contributing to their communities and wider society as a positive citizen. Children at our school are proud of who they are and believe that all people are welcome and equal.

We are proud of our strong partnerships with parents and carers, recognising that the relationship between home and school is essential for children to thrive. We warmly invite you to be actively involved in your child’s learning and to join us in celebrating their variety of success throughout the days, weeks and academic primary school journey.

 

Our school community is built on a foundation of mutual respect, where every member is encouraged to contribute to a positive and supportive environment. Together, we create a space where children are not only taught but also encouraged to explore, question, and grow into responsible citizens who are ready to make a difference in the world.

 

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We hope you find it informative and a reflection of the wonderful things happening at our school. I am happy to show you our beautiful inclusive school where children, staff and our community thrive and share the love of learning.

 

With warmest regards,

 

Mrs Melanie Lawson
Headteacher
North Petherton Community Primary School
