Welcome to Albany Primary School's website!
Welcome to our school website. As of September 2012 we are hoping to update our school website weekly. If you have any suggestions or ideas of how to improve the school website please let Mr Howlett (Deputy Headteacher) know.
All pupils should enjoy school life. It is our intention to create a very happy 'family school' where there is a sense of purpose and well-being, a place where children and adults are glad to be. Good behaviour is looked for, acknowledged and rewarded. Our intention is to develop a positive attitude to learning by consistently focusing on the child's strengths and achievements.
We hope that you and your children will be very happy as members of our school.
