Welcome to Cragside Primary School
Cragside Primary School has been at the heart of the High Heaton community for over 70 years. We are proud to be a welcoming and caring school in which each child is enabled to succeed.
We believe that every child has the right to enjoy their time at school. We strive for excellence in achievement for all children in literacy and numeracy and across the wider curriculum. The children are empowered to take an active part in their learning and we provide a rich variety of experiences which promote their personal, social, physical and creative development.
We foster a positive partnership with parents and carers and
work together to achieve success for our children. Our work is
also enhanced through links with the wider community.
This website will hopefully provide you with lots of useful
information and a good snapshot of school life. If you would
like to know more you are welcome to visit us by contacting
the school to arrange an appointment.

A warm welcome to all for what promises to be another great year at Cragside. It has been lovely to hear the children’s tales of holiday adventures this week and to welcome them back to school. They’ve returned to school looking very grown-up, smart and ready to learn. Our sixty new starters in Reception are already looking like fully fledged members of the school, growing in confidence every day and starting to find their way around.
