Principal's Welcome

We are a beautiful village school that really does have the best of both worlds.

Welcome to Newnham Primary School 

It is a real privilege to welcome you to Newnham Primary School as Executive Principal. Whether you are already part of our school family or considering joining us, I hope this website gives you a sense of the warmth, ambition and pride that make our school such a special place. 

At the heart of everything we do is our vision: we are a caring, loving and vibrant school, where everybody counts. This simple but powerful belief shapes our daily life and underpins our commitment to ensuring that every child feels seen, valued and able to shine. 

As part of the David Ross Education Trust, we are proud to work in partnership with colleagues across the Trust to deliver the vision that Every Child Thrives. Together, we create opportunities that help children develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to succeed both now and in the future. We have high expectations for every pupil and are committed to helping each child discover their strengths, fulfil their potential and develop a lifelong love of learning. 

We are proud to be at the heart of our community, building strong relationships with our families and ensuring every child feels a true sense of belonging. Guided by our values of ambition, aspiration, respect, courage, compassion and kindness, we encourage our pupils to be curious, resilient and considerate, supporting them to achieve their very best in all that they do. 

What makes Newnham truly special is its people. Our children, staff and families work together to create a school where everyone is welcomed, everyone is supported and everyone is encouraged to flourish. Seeing our pupils grow in confidence, discover their talents and celebrate their successes is a privilege every single day, and I am continually inspired by all they achieve. 

Every school has a story, and ours is one of care, ambition and community. The best way to understand what makes Newnham special is to come and see it for yourself. You will find a school filled with happy children, dedicated staff and a genuine sense of belonging, where everybody counts and every child is encouraged to be the very best version of themselves. 

I would be delighted to welcome you to Newnham Primary School and show you what makes our community so special. We look forward to meeting you and sharing all that makes Newnham such a wonderful place to learn and grow. 

Mr Liam Benner
Executive Principal
