I am extremely privileged to be the Head Teacher of Western Community Primary School in Wallsend.
Our school is vibrant, inclusive and very determined to provide the best opportunities for the children of Wallsend and neighbouring areas. Respect is at the heart of everything we do and we believe our school to be a unique blend of traditional values and innovative, creative, educational practice. Western is a very special place. We are immensely proud of our school and our community and are committed to ensuring every child's primary years are exceptional.
