Welcome From the Head Teacher
At Discovery Primary Academy we are committed to the academic, personal, social and emotional development for all of our pupils. We work hard to nurture children within an engaging environment where successful and inspiring teaching and enthusiastic learning, tolerance and mutual respect towards others is valued above all else.
All pupils will experience an exciting, broad and balanced curriculum, which supports, challenges and extends their self discipline, motivation and self esteem in order to achieve excellence in learning. In working closely with pupils, parents and the wider community we will encourage the children to develop into confident, successful, responsible, independent beings who have an appropriate sense of Citizenship now and in the future.
Ms M Siequien, Head Teacher
