Welcome to Canberra Primary School’s website.   We hope that it gives you a flavour of daily life at Canberra.
 
At Canberra Primary School our pupils are at the heart of everything that we do and we constantly strive to ensure that they are provided with a happy and safe learning environment where they receive the encouragement, challenge and support they require to achieve.
 
Canberra Primary School is an inclusive school where children are treated as individuals and nurtured to develop their skills and abilities.  We have high expectations of all of our children and recognise that they need opportunities to be both successful and challenged if they are to become independent, self-motivated and resilient.  We believe that the wide range of fun and creative learning opportunities provided combined with our caring ethos creates the conditions necessary for our children to achieve.
 
The partnership between home and school is central to our success and we aim to ensure that all parents and carers have the information they need to support their child.  We hope that the information, photographs and news articles available on our website helps to achieve this aim.

Progress Week 3.10.25
Next week the children will be involved in our first Progress Week of the academic year. We will pause our learning and give the opportunity for the children to revisit and consolidate their learning so far. This process will allow staff to plan reactively for next term.

NSPCC (19.9.25)
Over the coming weeks the staff and children will be involved in focused lessons and activities from the NSPCC. Families will recieve information and further details next week.

Welcome back!  We are excited to welcome back our families and to say hello to our new starts in Nursery, Primary 1 and throughout the school.  We look forward to working with our families to make the 2025-26 session the best yet!
