Welcome to The Shade Primary School, a vibrant, inclusive community in the heart of Soham, Cambridgeshire. We foster a strong sense of belonging and a family atmosphere where every child feels valued, safe, and supported.
At the core of our ethos are the ‘5Rs’ – Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Reflectiveness, and Readiness to Learn. These principles along with high expectations guide learning and behaviour, helping children to develop positive attitudes, strong character, and a love of learning. Through a therapeutic approach, we nurture emotional wellbeing and social skills, equipping every child to thrive now and in the future.
We promote gratitude, politeness, and empathy, encouraging pupils to become caring members of the school and wider community. Strong relationships, clear routines, and boundaries provide the security children need to flourish.
Our school includes Pre-School provision for the best start in a nurturing environment, plus Breakfast and After-School Clubs to support families and offer extended learning and play.
The Shade Primary School is a wonderful place to learn, play, and grow. We value partnerships with parents and welcome them as active participants in their child’s journey.
