Northgate Primary School

Tomorrow, 4th June, Crawley Play Service will be running some after school play activities at Northgate playing fields (near the park). These are completely free and are an opportunity for all children to join in with games and fun. Enjoy the sunshine and head there after school tomorrow!

Back to school tomorrow - Tuesday 4th June.
Looking forward to plenty of sunshine for the last half term of the school year.

What a pleasure to meet so many new parents and pupils today. Welcome to the Northgate family.

We've loved having the ducklings in school for the past week. It's been amazing to see them change and grow so much in such a short space of time.

SCHOOL CLOSED TODAY
After risk assessing the site this morning, it is not safe to open the school today.

Please stay safe and we look forward to seeing you all back in school tomorrow.

Here are some photos of previous weeks' winners of the Northgate Award! Keep updated with our school newsletter to see who else will feature.

Pupils at Northgate Primary School awarded a coveted Eco-Schools Green Flag!

Pupils at Northgate Primary School have earned an international accreditation this academic year, recognising their amazing work in making their school more environmentally friendly and raising eco-awareness in fellow pupils.

The Eco-Schools programme was established in 1994 and is now delivered in more than 70 countries across the globe. More than 1 million pupils attended an Eco-School in England in 2022-23.

Pupils at Northgate Primary first formed an Eco-Committee, then collaborated with Miss Searle to conduct an environmental review, assessing how eco-friendly their school is. They reviewed everything from biodiversity within their school grounds to how pupils and staff members travel to school. Building on their findings, pupils and Miss Searle then planned a year of action designed to advance their school’s green credentials, improve their local environment, and protect our planet.

The children and Miss Searle have introduced paper recyling bags into all classes, set up a recycling centre at the main school office and promoted the important of looking after our planet!

Eco-Schools England Manager, Adam Flint, said: “The Eco-Schools Green Flag award is an internationally recognised symbol of high environmental standards. The pupils and school staff that earn the award deserve immense credit for their hard work, determination, and creativity. Their passion for protecting our planet is an inspiration to us all.”
