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.

Leaders place a strong emphasis on relationships and wellbeing.  Our pastoral support is a real strength of the school, with a dedicated team and access to a wide range of professionals working together to ensure all children feel safe, supported and able to learn. 

We are a restorative practice school which underpins our behaviour management, encouraging all children to take responsibility for their learning and behaviour.  All adults in school have high expectations of our children in both their behaviour and learning.  We pride ourselves on the caring ethos that is embedded within our school. 

Our school is a School Of Sanctuary.  Please read more about what this means in the link provided.https://schools.cityofsanctuary.org/

We are proud of the journey our school has been on.  We continue to build a culture of pride, respect and ambition, strengthening parent partnerships alongside Early Help and community-based support networks.
