Relationships are a strength of the school. There is an inclusive culture where everyone is made to feel welcome, whatever their religion or nationality. The school’s achievement in this respect reflects their accreditation as a ‘School of Sanctuary’.
Newly appointed leaders have an ambitious vision of ‘academic excellence’ to prepare pupils for secondary school. Leaders have worked quickly to improve the curriculum. However, they are realistic and know there is still more work to be done.
Reading is prioritised throughout school. Staff have been trained well to teach the phonics programme. Children in Reception get off to a flying start.
A Message from our Headteacher
Byker Primary School is a welcoming, friendly school set inside the Byker wall, in the East end of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. We are an inclusive school encouraging children from a range of different cultures and backgrounds to do their best and aim high. We are committed to meeting the needs of all learners, whatever their starting point. The school strives to provide a varied and creative approach to learning, where children learn to express themselves and have fun, nurturing and building pupil confidence.
Our dedicated team of staff share high expectations for our children to achieve to the best of their abilities, both within the classroom and beyond. We create a love of learning by challenging every child with an ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum brought to life by inspiring and innovative teaching and delivered with a passion for teaching and learning. All learners are supported in their journey through school within a happy, stimulating and inclusive environment.
