Royal Park Primary Academy
We are a two form entry primary school, set in 9 acres of land with our own indoor swimming pool, 4 full size sports courts and our own forest. We are close to a local rail and bus services and have ample staff car parking. We have designed our own curriculum which encourages our children to dream big, work hard and be the best that we can be, with an emphasis on empowering the children to make a difference. Our results were above national average but most importantly the children have fun and engage well with the curriculum.
We take the wellbeing of our staff extremely seriously and pride ourselves on a strong and supportive work culture.  The school offers flexi-days (authorised time off in term time) to all staff, wellbeing initiatives and team building events.
