The School

At Purfleet Primary, we passionately believe that every pupil in our school deserves to realise their full potential. To this end, we offer a broad and balanced curriculum as well as a range of extracurricular activities designed to enable pupils to develop the full range of their talents. 

We work to encourage collaborative skills, a problem solving approach, resilience and perseverance in the face of challenge. Above all, we aim to foster in each child, a belief in their ability to succeed as well as a life-long love of learning.

Staff at the school are passionate in their belief that all pupils should achieve their best. Their aspiration for their pupils ensures that they have the highest expectations and support them all to succeed. 

We firmly believe that education is a partnership between pupils, parents and staff. We place a high value on establishing close links between home and school, so that we can effectively work together to achieve the best for your child. All of our staff look forward to working with you in support of your child’s progress. 

This is an exciting time for the school, as we gradually move from two to three forms of entry and celebrate the opening of our ambitious building programme that significantly enhances the learning environment and opportunities we offer our pupils.
