Mr Richardson-Brown's Welcome
Hello and welcome to South Wellfield First School! We are a two-form entry first school proud to serve families in Whitley Bay, Monkseaton, Shiremoor and Backworth. We have developed this website to give you a flavour of everything we have to offer. We know how important a school is to family life and we want to be a partner in that with you.
There is lots to see here but I will use this bit to give you my headlines.
- Child-centred- everything we do is for the benefit of your children. From our carefully constructed curriculum to our amazing staff who will go over and above for your child and family. South Wellfield First School is the place where you will be welcomed and supported.
- We Shine Brightly- this is our school motto and you will see it is everything we do. Our children achieve academic success but that is just the start of how they shine. We believe in the whole child and provide opportunities for them to shine beyond the curriculum.
- Family-focused- we are here to work with you and make sure we are the doing the best we can for you and your family. You will find me on the school gate each morning, where I am always available for a chat. We believe that the more school and families work together, the more we can achieve for our children
I hope that gives you an insight into our school and we would love you to explore our website to find out more, or get in touch with any questions you have.
Thanks,
Andrew Richardson-Brown
Latest School Calendar Events
- Nursery Welcome Meeting19Sep2025
1:00 am - 2:00 am @ School Hall
As part of our welcome back to school, we like to offer the chance for families to come in and meet with the teachers working in your child's year group. This will go through things like the curriculum, reading, PE days and any other bits and pieces relevant to that year. Most of these meetings are held in the school hall at 8:50am, so right after drop-off, and will last between 20-30 minutes. Nursery's is at 2:30pm so that we can release staff and still be in ratio. Please do not worry if you cannot attend your child's meeting. The children will not be there, and the presentation will then be emailed out to all families after. We appreciate families have work commitments and you will be getting all of the dates for the rest of the year on Friday's newsletter. This will allow you to plan things that you'd like to attend around work.
