Welcome
A really warm welcome to Akaal Primary School, a school for boys and girls aged 4-11. It is our ambition to go beyond academic excellence and provide a faith-inspired, virtues-led education that will allow our pupils to become compassionate leaders of tomorrow.
Thank you for visiting our website, my name is Zoe Parkes, Headteacher at Akaal Primary School and I am pleased to welcome you.
Through our website you will see references to how our faith designated influences guides the way our school works. Our school welcomes pupils of all faith backgrounds as well as those with no faith. Our virtues led approach is at the heart of all that we do.
Our virtues are those that can be identified by all faith groups as well as in the wider community to help us to become good human beings. Our role at Akaal is to support our children to become good citizens and offer them the toolkits to shape their future and support them as life, long learners. Our virtues are used to ensure children make the correct choices in life and reflect on the ones that they make.
We strive for excellence and want Akaal children to be the best that they can be. We love to praise our children for the effort they put in and give them the scaffold to aim for the stars with academic excellence.
We welcome anyone who would like to visit and share our journey. Please do not hesitate to call the school office should you require any further assistance.
Kind Regards,
Zoe Parkes Headteacher

Happy Vaisakhi to our sikh students and families! Sikhs remember the 5 beloved ones. In 1699 they were the first to volunteer to give up their lives for Guru Gobind Singh Ji's message to always act with virtue, without vice and stand up for the meek. The celebration of Vaisakhi is the commemoration of the creation of the Khalsa for Sikhs. Vaisakhi is celebrated each year to mark the initial initiation ceremony which took place in India in 1699. 5 beloved ones were chosen as part of the first initiation ceremony introduced by the 10th guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Wishing our Christian students and families a very happy easter! Easter celebrates Jesus rising from the dead, three days after he was executed by crucifixion. Christians remember Jesus's suffering and death on the cross, and believe that Jesus sacrificed his life for humankind. Jesus asked God to forgive those who were torturing him. Christians believe that, through his resurrection, Jesus overcame death and sin. Easter is representative of rebirth, renewal and starting afresh.
