Welcome

Welcome to Southwold Primary School. Our aim is to provide children with the best start in life and to develop the confidence and enthusiasm for learning that will take them through secondary school and beyond. 

We are part of a great community and we understand that parents and carers are key partners in what we do. This website will give you a window into what we do, but the best testament to our school communities comes from the children themselves.
