Headteacher's Welcome

A warm welcome to Southridge First School. We are a non selective Local Authority First School which accepts children aged 3 to 9 years - from Nursery age to Year 4. We are situated in the attractive residential area of Beaumont Park in Whitley Bay and serve the surrounding catchment area. 

We are a welcoming and caring school. Our dedicated and enthusiastic staff work hard, to build the best possible foundations for future learning and success in life for all of our children. We recognise that every child is special and has talents and challenges to be met.

At Southridge – every child matters.

Southridge has a well-deserved reputation for high academic achievement, exemplary behaviour and success across the curriculum. Our fundamental aim is to provide a safe, secure, happy and hardworking environment in which children of all abilities can learn with confidence. We encourage our whole school community to respect and care for one another and we continually strive for excellence in everything we do.

We have high expectations of all our children and set challenging targets for them. We are proud to say that they don’t let us down!
