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.

Sports Day and Summer Fair 9.5.25
Sports Day takes place on Thursday 22nd May. All children will take part in 'Potted Sports' in the morning and class races in the afternoon. Children participate in their House Groups and rotate around the activities. It would be great if they can wear something in their House colour. If you are unsure of your child's House colour please contact the school office or nursery.
Families,
The Parent Council are looking forward to the Summer Fair on Saturday 31st May and our preparations are in full swing. Hopefully you've blocked out the date in your diary! To make this a success, we need some help from you.
**Tombola**
The school will have a 'Dress Down' day on Friday 16th May and, in return, we are asking for donations for our ever-popular Tombola. If you think it's worth winning, we're happy to take it! Who wouldn't want to win a tin of beans or a bottle of Gin?!? Donations can be handed in to school up until Thursday 29th May.
**Pre-loved games, jigsaws and books**
A great opportunity to clear-out old games, jigsaws and books. Any items that are in good condition that you wish to donate to the 'Pre- Loved' stall should be handed in by 30th May.
**Baking (Home-made or repackaged to look like home-made!)**
If you’re able to donate to the home baking stall, please hand in baking for 3pm, Friday 30th May. Please email the PC email address (canberraparentcouncil@outlook.com) to let us know that you’d like to hand baking in.
**Bring a Friend**
Last but certainly not least we would love to see as many people there as possible! Bring grannies, aunties and neighbours.
**Helpers**
If you’re able to offer your help on the day let us know by emailing Canberraparentcouncil@outlook.com
Thank you for supporting the Parent Council Summer Fair!
