Atkinson Road is a popular, thriving and vibrant school. We are situated in the heart of the west end of Newcastle and have been serving our community for over a century. During this time we have tasked ourselves in making our children feel happy, safe and secure whilst providing them with a wealth of experiences and opportunities to develop as well rounded, well educated and successful, independent individuals.
We are an outstanding school who believes in our school motto that ‘Together We’re Better’. We know how much you will have done with your child before they reach us and value your input and opinions. Children get one chance with their education and at Kingston Park we want this to be the best. Our vision is to ensure that every child is the best that they can possibly be. In 2014 we were in the top 1% of schools nationally.
The garden works with nature to create a great place for people and wildlife to enjoy.
