Headteachers' Welcome

A very warm welcome to Ivydale Primary School & Nursery

At Ivydale, we foster a love of learning for life in every child.

We are a three-form entry primary school based across two nearby sites in Nunhead. We have high expectations for every child and ensure they are given every opportunity to become successful, confident and happy learners.

Alongside fostering a love of learning for life, we place great importance on creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment, rooted in our values-based approach.

Ivydale is a vibrant and busy school, full of activity from early morning until late afternoon — and often throughout the holidays too. Our wraparound care, enrichment programme and wide range of clubs help children build interests, friendships and independence, while our facilities are regularly used for community events.

We are always delighted to welcome new children and families. We are proud of our school, our pupils, their achievements and the role we play in the heart of our local community. If you would like to find out more, please get in touch or arrange a visit — you will always receive a warm welcome at Ivydale.
