Firside Junior School offers a stimulating environment for learning, where your child can thrive and do well. We believe that every child deserves the best education possible and we aim to provide just that. We set out to give your child a sense of purpose, encourage their confidence and to enjoy learning.
We work with you to ensure your child can become the best they can be. With support from home, we are confident your child will be able to make the most of the many opportunities that lie ahead.
Friends of Firside school committee will be selling ice pops on the playground after school tomorrow (Tuesday). Come and cool off with a refreshing after school treat.
22 Jun 2026Hot, hot, hot!! It's set to be very warm this week. Please make sure sure your child is equipped with sun cream, a hat and water bottle (all named). If your child would be more comfortable in PE kit then they can wear this any day this week (this includes the Year 4 trip on Wednesday). We will be making adaptations to plans for outdoor activities such as lunchtimes and PE / games lessons on very hot days to try to keep everyone as cool as possible.
