GREAT SCHOOLS: Bankside Primary School!

Another of my favourite schools is Bankside Primary School where Sarah Rutty, the energetic and charismatic headteacher, Cllr Roger Harrington, chair of governors and their talented colleagues are doing some amazing work in this really wonderful example of primary education at its brilliant best. A unique school that serves a vibrant, interesting and exciting part of central Leeds.


The school is having a new building constructed on its' existing site and half the school travel every day on school buses to the Fir Tree site where they work and play while a brilliant new Bankside Primary School is being built. I have travelled with the reception classes; a wonderful group of children, and their teachers to the Fir Tree site on a couple of occasions. The school has been transformed into a brilliant learning environment by Sarah's colleagues while they wait to bring their magic back to their wonderful new building.

Sarah Rutty and her team are committed to providing the best they can for their school community, who they offer their 'Bankside Best Commitment' ‘We expect the best for you and we expect the best from you’.  This simple, but effective, message lies at the heart of everything that the team do in this great school. A school that very clearly values the contribution that everybody makes!
