Welcome to Southgate Primary School

Choosing the right school for your child’s education is an important decision.  At Southgate, we carefully consider what children will need to know in order to be successful in an ever-changing future. This includes what knowledge and skills they will need. Whilst we have high academic aspirations for all our children, it is equally important that they grow, learn and flourish into well-rounded individuals, with an intellectual curiosity to become good learners.

🎃 Our annual Halloween Disco was a terrifying success! 👻 The children had an amazing time dancing the night away, and the costumes were truly horrific (in the best possible way!). 🕷️ A big thank you to everyone who helped make the evening so spooky and fun - we’re already looking forward to next year’s frightful festivities! 🧙‍♀️💀🧛‍♂️

Our wonderful Year 4 pupils took a trip to Crawley Library to explore the world of books and discover how the lending process works. From scanning barcodes to choosing their next great read, the children were full of curiosity and excitement! The visit was all about developing a lifelong love of reading, and it was heart-warming to see so many eager faces diving into stories and asking thoughtful questions. A huge thank you to the library staff for making the experience so welcoming and informative. We’re proud of our young readers and can’t wait to see how this inspires their reading journeys back in school and at home! 📖💡
