It is my privilege to welcome you to Waterside Academy, where every child is supported, encouraged, and inspired to thrive. Having joined the school as headteacher in September 2024, I am delighted to lead a vibrant, inclusive community that places children at the heart of everything we do.

At Waterside Academy, our ethos is shaped by our Golden Rules, which guide us to:

• Let other children learn,
• Be kind,
• Look after property,
• Keep ourselves safe, and
• Try our hardest.

These values foster respect, responsibility, and resilience, helping our pupils to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are proud of our broad and enriching curriculum, designed to ignite curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of learning. Our dedicated staff work to ensure every child feels safe, valued, and confident to reach their full potential. Beyond the classroom, we offer a range of opportunities to nurture talents and interests, from sports and the arts to personal development programmes.

Whether you are a prospective parent, a current family, or a visitor, I welcome you to explore our website and discover what makes Waterside Academy such a special place to learn and grow. If you would like to see our school in action, we would be delighted to welcome you for a visit.

Mr Kevin Peart
