We are delighted to welcome you to our school website and to Somerdale Educate Together Primary Academy which opened in September 2017. In September 2023, we now have 8 classes; Pre-school, Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 , Year 5 and Year 6.

We are an equality-based school where we live by the mottos ‘no child an outsider’ and ‘learn together to live together’. Our school celebrates diversity, individuality and respects each child’s identity, respecting that of their family equally. This enables us to develop the whole child, encouraging all children to excel. Our unique curriculum and core principles enable us to create a nurturing environment that develops the skills our children need to be global citizens for the increasingly diverse society that we live in.

Our core principles are:

• Equity based – Through being equitable in our work, all children and staff will have equal access to their rights and, regardless of background, all will be equally respected.

• Aspirational – all of our children have the right to a holistic world class education. All of our work aims to ensure that every child can make progress and achieve well in every aspect of their education.

• Child-centred – Children are at the heart of every decision and activity. Their voices are actively sought and listened to. They play a lead role in shaping their education.

• Collaborative– Our schools aim to be central to the communities they serve. As such, we look for opportunities to give voice to and work in partnership with all stakeholders of the schools.
