I am delighted to welcome you to our Web Site! Kings Road is an exciting, forward-thinking Primary School and this is certainly reflected in these pages. Here you will find details of our history, the variety of activities that is on offer to today's pupils and also some of our ideas for the future. You can learn about our increasing range of after-school clubs, view children's work, see the entire staffing list and of course much, much more!

I hope you will both enjoy and learn from this site; and please remember that we would be pleased to see you in person, at school, should you have further questions or queries.

Whilst the children are working with you they are under the direction of the teacher. The teacher is ultimately responsible for the health and safety of their class. If you are not sure about any safety aspect concerning something you are doing with your children, please check with the teacher before you proceed. Each teacher is responsible for getting their children to the designated fire unit and assembly point in an emergency or routine fire drill exercise. Please follow, closing all doors behind you.
