It gives me great pleasure on behalf of the staff, pupils and governors to welcome you to our wonderful school.

We are a warm and welcoming one-form entry primary school, located on the picturesque Shoreham Beach.

Everyone feels safe, included and valued. Kindness, restorative practice and strong relationships underpin everything we do.

At Shoreham Beach Primary, there is a passion and love for learning. Everyone is committed to high expectations and aspirations. Our curriculum is bespoke and ambitious for all. We want every learner to be a critical thinker and greater depth at something. Everybody succeeds, everybody matters. No one gets left behind.

Having high expectations isn't a skill, it is an attitude.

We are very proud of our school.

Key priorities for this academic year

1. Further develop teacher’s knowledge of mathematics and mathematical development in order to ensure basic skills (number bonds, place value, times tables and number formation) are secured at each stage before moving on.
2. Emphasis across the curriculum on adaptive teaching, where live assessment and marking is used to adjust teaching within lessons to respond to the strengths and needs of all pupils.
3. To develop our pupils as thinkers through metacognition. Using questioning and opportunities to discuss, reason and evaluate their thinking and ideas.
