Pooles Park Primary School

Welcome to Pooles Park Primary School. ​We are a culturally diverse, inclusive primary school within the London Borough of Islington. We pride ourselves on ensuring that every child that joins us is secure and happy and enjoys learning and achieving while they are with us.

Our website provides practical information about the workings of the school as well as outlining our approach to teaching and nurturing children. At Pooles Park we aim to ensure that every child that joins us is secure and happy and enjoys learning and achieving while they are with us.

We value children of all skills and abilities and we provide an environment where they can fulfil their potential and grow into responsible, confident and active young people. We offer a rich and fulfilling teaching and learning environment in Finsbury Park. We have a national award winning garden where children learn about growing food and sustainability.

Please take your time to browse through the site and discover all we have to offer you and your children. The best way to see what we can offer your child is to visit. I would be delighted to talk to you in person. Please contact me on the email address below or by phoning the school.

This includes the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of children as well as their development as successful learners. We are particularly keen to develop children’s' understanding of the environment. All children learn to grow food in our nationally celebrated garden and to understand sustainability.

London is the most exciting city on earth and we are very proud of being a London School. We take every opportunity for children to learn its history, geography and culture. The classrooms are all named after London stations which are on the three lines that meet at Finsbury Park. Children go on a wide range of educational trips in and around London. Visits to The National Gallery, The British Museum and many others, are an important part of the curriculum.

Since Roman times, 2000 years ago, London has provided a home for people from all over the world. Pooles Park continues this tradition with children from five different continents, speaking twenty five different languages.

The school particularly celebrates Shakespeare who spent most of his working life in London. Each year group studies a different Shakespeare play and we take part in the National School Shakespeare festival. This ends with Year 5 performing a Shakespeare play in a West End Theatre.

London is also renowned for its many parks and gardens. Our own award winning garden is a valuable resource for our pupils and is open to the public once a year.
