Welcome

Welcome from the Headteacher

Dear Website Visitor

Thank you for taking an interest in Northenden Community School and for visiting our website. On behalf of governors, staff and children, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our website and to introduce you to our school.

If you are visiting the website as an existing parent, we hope that you find the information you are looking for. If not, please call us or drop in at the school office to ask your questions. If you are member of the public and cannot find the information you are looking for, please contact us on 0161 998 4825.

If you are visiting our website as a prospective or future parent, I appreciate that choosing a school for your child is an important and, at the same time, daunting task. You will want to satisfy yourself that our school can meet the needs of your child and your family. We hope that this website, combined with a personal visit, will help you decide if life at Northenden Community School is what you are seeking for your child and for you as parents.

All schools are different. Each school has its own character, ethos and ways of doing things. This is what makes schools unique and able to offer different things to meet the needs of different families and learners. At Northenden, we believe that a real strength of our school is our ethos and the care, guidance and support that we offer to our children and families. Our school is a friendly place and we expect a high level of co-operation and consideration from all those involved in the lives of the children. We believe that we are a successful school but are always looking ahead to be even better.

In order to see us at work, you and your child are invited to look around the school with a member of staff. If you wish to do so, please make an appointment to visit the school by calling us on 0161 998 4825 – one of our office staff or myself will be happy to help and arrange a visit for you. In the meantime, if you need further information or have questions that are not answered by this website, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you and your family to our school.

Best wishes

Mr Peter Marks
Headteacher
