Embedded Files
All staff and Governors are committed to ensuring that Parkside Community Primary and Preschool continues to strive to be the very best it can be. At the end of each academic year we conduct a thorough evaluation of the school and preschool allowing the identification of both strengths and areas to develop. This evaluation leads to the identification of targets (and supporting actions) for the year(s) to follow, and forms the 'backbone' of much of our work at Parkside. This document is called the School Development Plan (SDP).
